Nikki Garcia on her workouts and not pushing too hard
(20:30-21:48)
Nikki Garcia: As I’ve been working on my strengthening, what
I’ve had to constantly tell myself is start like you have to
start somewhere. So there are things that I’m doing right
now where I feel like I could be lifting heavier. I could be
jumping higher, but that’s not what’s on track for me.
That’s not a part of my healing. And it’s okay to start here
and slowly build. So don’t give up. The slow build is
actually the best because we get the best foundations. And
that’s what I’m telling myself. And I learned my lesson the
other day because I was doing jumping and I got a little
ahead of myself and I was like, I know I could jump even
higher. And the minute I did it, I felt that through my
ankle like fire and I was like, oh wait, now I know my
limit. And even though I wasn’t allowed to do that, I did
it. And so it just took me back and reminded me that like,
yeah, it could be a slow build, but it’s so worth it to
share more of my cleared artistic lens now that I fully
embraced it.

Nikki Garcia: Even though obviously I have FOMO with Brie’s
Italian adventure, and I can’t wait when we get her back on
and we get to hear about all of it. We’ll all be jealous as
she’s been living under the Tuscan sun, but we know we all
will get there someday. But the one thing that was the
blessing, you know, when I originally had my trip booked to
meet Brie, every night I’d wake up with anxiety about this
trip. So that’s when I started to know it wasn’t a right
time for me to go to Tuscany. And being home, I’ve realized
that I’ve really just have been hard working at my workouts
and recovery and just getting really good news along the way
how much stronger I am. How my, you know, just everything
looks great. I’m getting my X-rays done I think a week
earlier. I’ll start to just get in the ring and dabble on
how that feels. But everything’s just looking really strong
and healthy and I felt like I had to be home.
