00:00Can't nothing hold me back.
00:01I'm like, oh, girl, I'm flawless.
00:03Ayy!
00:07Hi, I'm Sophie Simmons, and today we're
00:09talking about getting down.
00:11I don't know about you, but when I stay home all day looking
00:14at my phone, I feel terrible.
00:17When I sit around all day, I feel, ugh, meh, ugh.
00:24Just feel gross.
00:26It's so easy to get sucked into your couch,
00:28and I know it's comfortable and glorious and you just want to sleep on it.
00:31But don't.
00:32Get up.
00:33Get moving.
00:34It's so important.
00:35Not only for your physical health, but for your mental health.
00:37When I'm feeling really down about my body, my roommate and I like to dance ridiculously
00:42because that's the only way I know how to.
00:45According to the Journal of Behavioral Medicine, having poor body image directly connects to
00:50having poor health.
00:51It gives you endorphins and it makes you feel good.
00:55My personal challenge for today is to throw myself into a private training session with
01:00Tracy at Body by Simone and have my butt kicked.
01:06Working out doesn't have to be a chore and it doesn't have to be about losing weight.
01:10It should just be about having fun and getting your body moving.
01:14So I just finished my Body by Simone class and I feel so happy.
01:19These bodies were built to stretch and run and jump and if we're not using that, we're just
01:24wasting our bodies.
01:26So get out there, get active, and hopefully one day I can touch my tits.
