Training - Cause you love it, not cause she photographed it!

There are so many questions regarding what exercise routine to follow. Do I lift weights? Do I go running? Boxing? Pilates? Yoga? A combination of some or many? There are so many training styles to suit everyone, their needs and goals. That’s the beauty of it, you're sure to find some solution to find what really works best for you. No Instagram guru can find that for you.
I understand we can all get caught up with looking a certain way and perceive our training regime to be the road map for achieving our goals, but that’s not the way to look at it. If you exercise accordingly for the toned abs and perfectly defined legs she has - where’s the fun it that? What if you hate doing crunches and running unthinkable kilometres instead of doing what you really love, Pilates and light weightlifting?
Society has conditioned us to believe that there’s only one training program we must follow in order to obtain the “body of our dreams” and that the, “body of our dreams” translates to one specific image: Toned, but not muscular. Tall, but under 5”10. Slim, but not sickly. Abs. but definitely not a ripped six pack. Well news flash: you cannot own your body and there’s a massive piece of the puzzle society has left absent. Consistency and self love.
