RE: There's No Template For 'Healthy'

in #fitness7 years ago

Well said. The only way I can exercise is by doing something I enjoy. I can't sit and lift barbells and run the treadmill in the gym for hours, it's just not me. I love yoga and skating and recently I've been getting into hiking. For me it's about letting go of some of the gym mentality ideas like "lifting your bodyweight is not enough". I don't need to look like Wonder Woman, lifting my body weight with yoga is quite enough for me to be strong.

Thank you so much for this article, it was so well stated and we need more of it. Becoming healthier needs to be the goal over fitting a certain dress size.

Thanks for the support, @catonwheels! I absolutely agree, every person's approach to health & fitness should be defined by what they truly enjoy. Bodies are different not just in their shapes and sizes, but also in what they respond to. And isn't that amazing? How boring we would all be if we were alike. :)
