WHY do YOU train? WHY do I train? BRAINSTORM!

Well, it's no secret that we all train for different reasons. But many for the same reasons as the others!
Someone wants to get fit for a particular period of the year, most likely the summer. Someone maybe for a special day, like a wedding, or maybe a photo shoot?
What does this examples have in common??
Well - to me it seems like the training is only because of the esthetics. And I think it is a problem that the training is being more and more focused on this. People want to look good, and not only with clothes on - but also naked! What happend to being good at something? either it comes to strength, dancing or pingpong??

But what defines "to look good"? Isn it better too feel good, than look good? Or do we really have to look like models to feel good?

One thing thats a fact: is that non of your problems will disappear when you get a six-pack. You are still the same person, with the same issues, and maybe even more issues. Starting to compare yourself with others, even though the focus should lie on yourself and your own development.

Why are we not allowed to be comfortable in our body? No matter fat percentage, muscle mass, stretch marks or loose skin?

And for me, more important.. why can't people train for their own particular reasons without others meaning whats best or not? There is possible to work out simply because you love it!
And why can't I "look good" with some extra punds of fat? - is there a rule saying that if you once where ripped, you have to always stay ripped?
What happend to the old ideals, where a curvy woman, was a sexy woman?

You may ask yourself where I want this post to end: and you know what?!

I just wanna say - fu** you "better knowing people" who thinks what's best for me(and others), when I look best, and what I want to achieve..
Those who knows me, know that I'm not that kind of girl doing things with no particular reasons behind it. And maybe know even better that I don't that easily let someone pick on my nose without biting your finger off in the moment!
BOOOM!


So why do YOU train?
is it because:
- of the people around you?
- you like it?
- you want to achieve something?
- you want to get better confidence?

No matter why you train, do it for yourself, to reach your own goal! And don't try to live up to someones expectations.

To me, training is my medicin! It clears my brain, and it gives me a good feeling to do better for each session. I think it's interesting to se how you can manipulate the body, when it comes to building muscles, gaining strength, loosing fat and even gaining fat. It's interesting to see how it respons to different regimens, when it comes to both diet and training, and it's nice to experiment what's needed to reach different goals.
Of course I also care about the esthetics, who doesn't do that these days? Its an inborn factor we all have. But I think it's healthy to try being comfortable in your body however it looks. Yes, it takes a lot of effort, brain digging and many moments of doubt, but in the end - you will be more comfortable in your own skin no matter what. Stay healthy, and go for the goals you want to achieve :)

My little message her, is : Do not care about what other think or says about you. As long as you are true to yourself, there is nothing or no one who can drag you down. Do the things you do for the right reasons :) 

Hope you had a nice day, and that I gave you something to think about! :)

Good night ;)
