Alert the presses, and probably the paramedics, because Lizzo has just dropped a gym video that’s causing jaws to drop, weights to clatter, and protein shakes to spill worldwide.
In a shocking turn of events, the “About Damn Time” hitmaker took to social media, where she flexed on the entire internet with her newfound gym gains. In the clip, which we can only describe as the “Before and After” glow-up of the century, viewers were left doing double-takes. Was that Lizzo, or had Zeus himself descended from Mount Olympus to do squats in her place?
Spoiler Alert: It was Lizzo.
The video was captioned with an inspirational nugget of wisdom that may or may not have made me sign up for a gym membership I’ll never use:
“If you’re reading this… remember you can do ANYTHING you put ur mind to! Stay focused, you got this 💪🏾”
Yes, I’m reading this, and I’m still mentally preparing to get up from the couch, but thanks for the pep talk, Lizzo.
For those who’ve followed Lizzo’s journey, you’ll know she’s the undisputed queen of body positivity, and this video is just the latest chapter in her “I can do whatever I want, and you can too, but only if you’re feeling up to it” memoir. It’s refreshing, it’s inspiring, and it’s making us all rethink that third slice of pizza we’re currently halfway through.
Is this the dawning of a new Lizzo era, or simply the most motivational excuse to finally buy a yoga mat? Either way, the internet is shooketh.
Check it out if you need some gymspiration, or just want to pretend you’re going to work out.
