If you have to post pictures of your gym injuries to prove to everyone that you’re getting fit, you’re doing it wrong.
I believe that there are plenty of safe, healthy ways to lose weight & be active.
I believe that it is possible to strenuously exercise without being injured. And the probability that it will “work” is 100%.
I do NOT believe in the “no pain, no gain” theory.
If you get nervous to go to your workout, if you are physically hurting & in actual PAIN while exercising, if you feel that pictures of your various injuries are the only proof that you are “working hard,” STOP.
Seriously, stop.
It’s called health & WELLNESS for a reason. Whoever came up with the theory that you have to be in physical pain in order to gain a higher level of fitness was simply using good, old fashioned scare tactics to sell a new, trendy, (and dangerous) idea.
The madness will stop.
All you have to do is not buy into it.
