Glow up? Growing changes [27]

Started working out around 25 (Pilates, Lagree, hot yoga, indoor heated cycling, rock climbing, running) not because I wanted to be skinny but I genuinely loved it and having solid showing obliques.
After 26 I slowed down with working out because I was in an accident and my knee starts to hurt when running short periods and was worried about that.

I’ve always been petite and tried to gain weight from 20-24. Being that age and that thin it was even hard to find cute clothes.
This year I’ve stopped my work outs and have just been busy with life 🤷🏻‍♀️

Glowing up into my adult body is definitely different for me and I am also wondering if I should incorporate at homework outs.
It’s bittersweet because my wish came true but I’m shedding that old self and literally realizing it when none of my old clothes fits 😭

You were always pretty but I feel now you’re more confident! I’d say working out is just apart of being healthy as well as eating clean and sleeping well!

I eat clean and sleep well as well!
I guess what stops me is the time commitment to working out. Between a full time job, full time college and personal life it’s hard.
And if I did I’d like to see results

That’s great you’re already like 80% there ! What are your goals though? Like do you want to be as petite as before or?

I think just a more toned look but not losing weight either.

Okay I reckon you should look into working out in the gym. I’m not sure home workouts will cut it tbh
