i keep returning to a workout routine everyone told me to abandon—3-minute ab challenges that feel more like an interrogation than fitness. the last time, i cried during plank, which is so embarrassing. yet here i am, making vision boards for a future where crunches don't haunt me. #fitnessfails #glowupgonewrong
