What does it mean to be fit? Having washboard abs? Toned arms and legs? Or, simply having strength, stamina, and flexibility? Time and again, we mistake fitness for a certain waistline or body weight. But, we forget that every body is different, and being fit essentially means that your vital organs are in good shape, and that you have strength and stamina that is appropriate for your age and body. Given that our body naturally degenerates after a certain point, we have to exercise in order to achieve the potential it is capable of achieving. Again, potential is not the same for everyone, and certainly it is not the same as a slim waist! If you still don’t believe us, take a look at these yogis who are nailing asanas that most of us can’t do, even on our best days:
Yes, she’s got thunder thighs, and she’s gonna flaunt ’em!
She’s definitely a few sizes bigger than the “ideal” size, and probably a few decades older than you!
She sure knows how to move that body! Can you do the split so damn smoothly?
It looks easy, but it takes a whole lot of core strength and flexibility
You must love your… body… first
The strength she has, shows on her face
A beautiful lesson in keeping it real!
🔥🔥🔥Okay guys — I deleted my last picture because it just didn’t feel right. Yes, it was a picture of me doing a beautiful yoga pose, but it’s really, really not all about me. I know, every picture in post is of myself, but it’s because I worked so hard to get to this place of peace and self-acceptance and it’s about using my story to empower all of you beautiful women out there right now. · ❣️👆🏼So I am posting them side-by-side now, because THIS is what I also look like tonight, when I am not upsidedown and when gravity is not pulling all of my bits in the opposite direction. 🙌🏼 · THIS IS REAL. 💫💫💫 · 🚺 IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO BE A PART OF THIS INCREDIBLE BODY POSITIVE COMMUNITY. My whole life I’ve felt just a little different than everyone and I finally feel like I am fitting in. I followed so many of you through my treatment, and was constantly inspired to keep fighting until I made it. 🙏🏼So thank you, to all of you ladies who are a part of this wonderful movement too. I LOVE YOU! · Even though I am still feeling a little sad tonight, about a lot of things, I am happy — SO HAPPY to be a sister to all of you, strong women, fighting ED, in recovery, without eating disorders, just plain badass ladies — I salute you😘 · LOVE & POSITIVITY 💘 xo · #thereisnowrongwaytobeawoman
