I'm embarrassed about exercising in public

Totally normal I feel the same way like a "real runner" will just be happening to drive by and think "man she has it all wrong"...but here's the thing most people driving by or who might see you are most likely not paying attention OR thinking that they wish they were out running and trying...I love seeing overweight people out walking or running it's like they're out there improving themselves...so the moral of my story is JUST DO IT!!!!!

Totally normal, but you will feel good about yourself if you just do it and you will stop feeling embarassed after a very short time, I gurantee it. Also the people around you are too involved In thier own problems to care about how you look exercising. Good luck

Totally normal. Can you believe this carnage they've done to our body images? Damn. I've never been happier than when I was camping and there were no mirrors!

Go out running, but go out when there are less people around but in safe areas. And you know what? If people do notice you, they're thinking "Aww, I should go for a run." They're really only thinking about themselves.

Good luck!

Yeah! I dont even try in gym! Im afraid people will think badly about me, even though im avarage weight, in fact i think im smaller than most of the people i see. Other than a few really small midgits who look anirexic, but i know they arent they're just small.

totally normal! (: i'm the same too. and i'm still stuck in my bedroom, growing larger everyday ): so get out and just do it before it's to late!

Normal. I feel the same way lol damn glad to know on not the only one on this one.

you could go to the gym instead

Listen just stick that damn ipod in your ears , blast your best tune and go for a good run. You gonna burn calories, but fat and do a heart (cardio) workout as well, the person that's gonna be endurant is you. what's this problem with other peoples point of view? seriously who cares? unless you suffer from agoraphobia. In all honesty it's the best feeling in the world.
Another thing you running out of breath because your muscles are full of lactic acids when you run and your glycogen level is down. The more you run the more endurance you'll gain my dear. in order for you to be more energenic get some carbs before you go for your run, it's fuel for your muscles, get an oat meal 1 hr prior to that exercise and get a carbohydrate drink while you running to replenish the muscles empty of carbs. And be happy c'mon

are u a male or female?

me too...

I have the same problem! I still haven't overcome the embarassment yet so Im stuck inside.

It's normal but you'll feel alot better once you do it.

I run on a treadmill for now but wanna run a 5k . . Never been able to before, but it's a goal. :). Find a running buddy or a treadmill . . But treadmills get boring!

Try asking a friend come with you, having an exercise buddy makes it easier for me.

Nobody will care how you look doing it. If you have a bad body they'll just say haha fatty and walk away nothing more and they'll forget about you 2 minutes later. Just do it:)

I feel the same way, it's normal to feel embarassed about excersizing in public.
