Other physical activities like walking, hiking, cycling, etc are more than enough. I myself didn’t start going to the gym literally until the last 2 years. I never needed the gym.

But then it all follows in the same track. Every person is different no two people can benefit from the exact same workout. It’s just like medicine.”
The question of what to wear to the gym is putting most people behind. Most companies have great outfits but not everyone fits in the same shoes. To this Makayla says,
“Honestly, you got to wear what you feel good in. Be intuitive to yourself. I tell this to everyone. Because if you’re not intuitive, not listening to yourself, you are only hurting yourself.
