About a month ago I bought a mirror for my gym. One of those new light-up mirrors with a few different light settings. Let me tell you, this mirror is AMAZING. I had NO idea how helpful it could be. The most beneficial thing has been watching my form on my deadlifts. WOW. For the first time in my life, I realized why people at the gym are staring at themselves when they lift. Over the past, just six months, my body has transformed from lifting; and now I can do my workouts and actually see the muscle I’m working, it’s fucking incredible, not to mention addicting!
On a side note, my new kitten, Maui, loves to come in at look at herself in the mirror. It’s hilarious.
Buy a mirror. You won’t regret it. I can’t believe I’ve been scared of a mirror for so long. Although, the mirror in my closet is still a “fat” mirror…
