How do I stop feeling embarrassed by people seeing me exercise?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

Feeling embarrassed while exercising in public is a common concern. Start by focusing on your personal goals and the benefits of exercise for your well-being. Practicing self-compassion can help you overcome these feelings; remember that everyone is on their own journey. Gradually expose yourself to exercising in public settings, and consider bringing a friend for support. Building a routine where you feel comfortable can enhance your confidence and help you develop lasting healthy habits.

This is something that’s maybe weird but works for me is I sit in front of the mirror and give myself a pep talk like nobody cares, nobody goes to the gym to judge people, everyone starts somewhere, etc.
