Make sure the young people in your life know exercise exists for so much MORE than changing your body! Growing up as woman, society has conditioned to believe exercise ONLY exists to make us smaller. Thinner. Weigh less. BUT, we have the power to flip the script! When I was younger, I was surrounded by people who CONSTANTLY attached their worth to the size or shape of their body, exercising only to LOSE something. And that mindset soon became my own. I have wasted so much time and energy moving my body from a place of HATE, punishing my body and trying to change it to fit society’s ideals. Now, I never want my little sister to grow up thinking her body only exists to LOOK a certain way, I want her to grow up knowing how her body looks is the LEAST interesting thing about her! I want her to know her body is CAPABLE of doing so much more than becoming the smallest version of herself! I want her to move her body from a place of LOVE, because she enjoys it and it makes her feel good! And I want her to know movement exists for so much MORE than changing her body! I will always do everything I can to empower her, in her body, in movement, and in her gorgeous life, being the influence I WISH I had growing up. My generation and the ones before have felt the immense pressures from society when it comes to movement and looking a certain way, but we can take BACK that power for the next one 💪🏼💗
