fit•spo /‘fitspō/ noun [informal] Definition: short for #fitspiration
Don’t get caught up in what you see across your social media feeds when it comes to #fitness nowadays!! It’s so common to see the top trending workout posts packed with insanely ripped dudes and impossibly lean bikini models; both of which are usually doing backflips and/or throwing around superhuman weights. The trend is to show off as much as possible as that is the way we look to “peacock” on the internet; then we add the tag #fitspo to make sure as many eyes get to see it as possible. Let’s not forget the term comes from INSPIRATION, not IMPERSONATION. We need to keep in mind what we consider important when making our own lifestyle choices when it comes to our physical and mental health. If you want to look like the 4% body fat athlete squatting 315 for reps while balancing on a bosu ball, are you willing to make the necessary sacrifices to achieve that? And will those sacrifices lead to true happiness? Inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do something; and hopefully your #fitspo feed can help you focus on a personal goal, just make sure it’s YOUR goal and it falls in line with what YOU WANT for YOURSELF! ❤️
