Day 25
You are uniquely you! And you don’t have to be anyone else. This is especially true when it comes to fitness!
We may all be human, be we are not all the same physically. We don’t all have the same interests goals or body types. That’s why I am so against the way fitness training is so often shown in advertising, or YouTube. You know, young, or super fit athletic people sweating like there is no tomorrow.
That’s not me and it’s likely not you!
Think about the variety of animals in nature. Is any one animal better than the other? No. They are the best at being the animal they are!
I don’t expect a Panda to race a cheetah. Would you say penguins are failures because they can’t fly; even as well as a chicken? Never mind the eagles; now those animals they can fly!
My advice, don’t strive to be the best animal. Instead, strive to be the best YOU. The Unique, awesome, wonderful, you!
