I feel like they went too far by making me feel bad about my fitness choices. So, AITA? Or should I have just sucked it up?
I mostly work out at home because it’s just easier with my schedule, and I’ve invested in some basic home workout equipment to get the job done.Here’s where the drama starts. A few days ago, I was hanging out with one of my old friends, and we were talking about fitness and health
This friend has been into fitness for years, but they’re the type who’s always talking about extreme workouts and strict meal plans. They’re really into the whole “no pain, no gain” mentality, and they tend to push that onto everyone around them.They told me I wasn’t lifting enough and that my cardio wasn’t intense enough. They even said I should “quit slacking” and do more “real” workouts like CrossFit or HIIT.
At first, I tried to brush it off, but it started to get under my skin. I’ve worked hard to find a routine I enjoy and that fits into my life, and hearing that I wasn’t doing it “right” was frustrating. So I snapped and told them I was happy with my routine and didn’t need them to tell me how to work out.Your fitness journey is personal and should align with your goals, values, and lifestyle. It’s okay to set boundaries with friends, even if their intentions are good.
