THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE BRAND AND BANDS
Hi, I'm Gizelle! When I first began to take my weight-loss journey more seriously for the sake of my mental and physical health, I started attending group fitness classes for extra motivation. One day, I was doing banded donkey kicks and found myself looking up and around to see if others were struggling as much as I felt I was during class.
While looking around I actually stopped doing the work out completely and didn't even realize it until the instructor came over to me to ask if I was okay.
It was in that moment that I realized the energy I was using to compare myself to the others in the class took away the focus I could have been using to push myself to complete the work out for my own personal goals. As simple as that 10 second moment was, it made me reflect on the other parts of my life where I was also comparing myself and how doing so effected my focus in creating the kind of life I knew I deserved. The kind of life I know we all deserve.
For the next class I made the intention that during the tough booty and core sequence, I would complete it to the best of my ability without looking around the class. I was in plank position and stared down at my mat body shaking, thinking how much it would help to have something positive and motivating to look down at to help me focus while mentally pushing myself to complete the 1-minute count of that plank hold.
Each workout in the booty and core sequence of this class incorporated resistance bands, which have always been one of my favorite fitness accessories to use because you can literally feel the BURN of it working! However, I had never experienced a band that didn't snap or roll down during a work out (Ya girl has thick thighs! IYKYK!)
It became super frustrating taking the few seconds to fix the positioning of the band as it did take away flow from completing the work out at times because of how often it happened! I know you have probably felt this frustration too.
I also noticed that with every new purchase of a resistance band set, I would only use 1 or 2 of the bands and have the third (lightest resistance) band laying around because it wasn't adding much to the work out causing me to never use it.
With all this in mind, I decided to create the Confidence Over Comparison resistance band set! A fabric band set that includes 2 booty bands at medium and heavy resistance, PLUS a bonus of 1 full body power band. Each with the Confidence Over Comparison affirmation logo!
CLOSING LOVE NOTE
Creating a product that connects both mindset and physical strengthening that could help all of us focus on our own personal journeys towards our goals was one of my main objectives for this brand and community. I hope with each use this set, it helps to remind you to focus on using your energy to build what you want for yourself and your life.
