I’m starting to see a pattern among younger girls lately, and that’s that they’ve started working out. Facebook, Instagram and other social networks are filled with pictures of girls in their trendy gym outfits, shakes or check ins at the gym.
As a gym freak myself, I thought this was a great thing, until I went in to some stores here in Sweden and saw that every female clothing store had a new section – workout clothes.
So now I’m starting to question if working out has become a trend, or if the clothing corporations are realizing that more and more people are concerned with their health, and takes the chance to make more money, and get more customers by expanding their range of clothes?
I strongly believe that in order to become persistent in your workouts you need to do it for yourself, if you do it for any other reason, even if it’s because your friends are doing it, or because someone told you, or just because it’s trendy, you will not be able to keep up a persistent schedule and you will most likely lose your drive.
I think that working out is something everybody should do, but do it because you want to have a healthy body and lifestyle not because you feel the need to instagram it.
