Be Strong.

Fitness isn't always glamorous - in fact, if you're doing it right it's never glamorous. For women, fitness is just as much an emotional battle as it is a physical one. For the majority of our lives, women have been spoon-fed by the media that women are supposed to be dainty, petite creatures; as delicate as snowflakes. The media's ideal feminine body is bred by calories deficits and extensive cardio. For too long, I punished my body by trying to conform to this ideal. Growing up, I thought this was the only way to be seen as a beautiful, desirable woman. But we humans were not created to be weak, dainty things - we were designed to be strong, physically and emotionally. Every day, I fight to rid my mind of the old media-bred ideals of dainty femininity & every day, i find myself all the stronger for it - both physically and emotionally. #StrongIsBeautiful
