A GYM fan has shared her difficult past with body image and how she overcame it.

She said she used to hate her legs, but now she always works out in shorts, paying no mind to what the haters say.


Lizbeth Martinez (@lizbeth.a.martinez) is a digital content creator and gym lover.

She took to TikTok to share her history with body image issues and how she overcame them by showing off the part of herself that she used to be insecure about.

"Decides to workout in shorts one day," Martinez said.

"Prefers to workout in shorts," she added.

"Take the jump and do something you’re scared to do," she wrote in the caption.

She followed up with another video on a more risqué note, showing herself twerking in a pair of workout shorts.

"Your outfits are a bit too much for the gym," she wrote over the video, parroting criticisms received from trolls.

"Don’t shrink yourself to make other people comfortable," she added in the caption. "It’s [about] feeling CONFIDENT in what YOU like."
