don’t hate what you don’t understand yet - sm gym post
If you have ever felt like people who workout and post their workouts are “showing off” this blog post is for you.
Have you said too yourself:
“Why are they working out, they look the same.”
“Okay, we get it. You work out.”
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why do you care so much. I mean, like the most, show love, get inspired but it is not need to hate. One thing I have learned about the word hate over the year is people only hate on what they do not understand or something they truly want. If you’ve never experienced what working out truly does your mind, body, spirit, soul, confidence, energy and overall well-being, you might be looking at post completely wrong.
When someone posts a gym self, workout video, progress picture, or post workout post somebody rolls their eyes, smacks their lips or swears that person just wants attention. News flash, they are not concerned about you. They are happy with themselves for showing up and stay consistent throughout a hard time in their life. They have found an outlet that works for them. It’s not always about being sexy and getting payback for an ex who hurt you. It can be a personal journey for health reasons and inspire others to move. Yes, some people enjoy their physique. Some people have it genetically and war maintaining what they enjoy but it’s nothing wrong with being proud of yourself. Continue reading down below to learn reasons people post their workout, gems you can take and more.

Guess what, you can experience these feelings and much more. You do not have to be in shape to get started. You can simply start moving. Create a schedule that works for you and GO! You healthiest self might not look like someone else’s and that it okay. Here at Fit Life Lit Life fitness is all about chasing the feeling and letting the results follow. Meaning, as you continue to show up for yourself, the results will follow you. You will be ale to see and/or feel the results from the fruits of your labor.
Once we seek understanding from the other side, we can take our judgment hate off. You do not have to like, share or comment on the person’s video. You do not have to like the person in the video. Simply take the post for what it is and can be, a reminder to move. We are not getting any younger, many have sit down jobs or physical labor jobs which is more of a reason daily movement is a must. Sitting down all day can lead to stiffness and sciatica which are reasons to walk daily. Physical job can lead to back pain which are reasons to stretch daily. Eventually, something starts to change when you make movement apart of your life. Your body becomes better, sleep is better and your energy is up. Fitness is about flexibility in your overall life (time management, prioritizing you, no excuses, physical fitness, mindset shift).
Fitness should only be a competition between your old self and your future self. It should be about taking care of the old body you have. Pouring into your body today so your future self can than you later. Becoming a healthier, stronger and confident you. So the next tine you see someone post their workout, try asking yourself this question, “What can I take from this?” You might take motivation, inspiration or a reminder to get up and get on it. Take it and make it your own, whatever it may look like. The greatest elevation and transformation is someone confidence from making change and being a person of their word to themselves. That inner glow can not be ignore. Stevie Wonder could see that glow. 😊
