Sometimes, finding the motivation to hit the gym can be difficult. However, pro snowboarder and one-time SI Swimsuit model Brenna Huckaby just provided a list of her reasons for prioritizing a sweat sesh that we think are pretty inspirational.

The 28-year-old mom of two shared clips of herself exercising on TikTok earlier this week, alongside her personal motivations, which included:

1. To get swollleee so I can take up more space instead of shrinking myself down like society taught me to do.
2. Mental training so I can manage mansplaining and misogyny...
3. To be strong enough to love myself regardless of outside influences.
4. So I can push the limits of what disabled women can do on a snowboard.
5. So I can lift up women so we can smash the patriarchy. 
6. So I can listen to explicit music without my kids hearing.

For the occasion, the three-time Paralympic gold medalist wore a bra and leggings set by Athleta as she filmed herself working out on machines and performing moves on a yoga mat. “I only train in athleta because of the quality of the gear (the fast drying material bc i’m a sweater🙃) & because i subscribe to the notion: look good, feel good, do good,” Huckaby, who is a partner with the performance wear company, noted in her caption.

“You are always Strong and amazing 💜💜💜💜,” one of her 485,300 followers on the video-based platform commented.

“Looking fabulous,” someone else added.

So, the next time you’re dragging your feet when it comes to hitting the gym, try making a list of your personal motivations like Huckaby did in order to feel inspired.
