Social media has made such a huge difference in the health
and fitness world. Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram allow us to share
our workouts with the world. Someone just posted an accomplishment, “I ran 1
mile and before I could not walk a mile.” Posts like this bring inspiration to the
many that fall into this same category. With social media we are able to
connect in a way we could not before. We can start a biking or running group on
Facebook with bikers from Canada, USA, or Italy and report our miles to one
another while keeping each other motivated. We can express how we may have hit
an obstacle and how we got over that barrier. Social media allows us to share
our triumphs and successes, rather it be completing 10 pull-ups or 100
push-ups. We can pin our favorite healthy recipes to Pinterest for those who
need ideas on how to prepare lighter meals. Instagram, a short clip of a new
exercise you learned. Social media has given us something so phenomenal, connecting
people with the same fitness goals to help push each other across the finish
line. We share our fitness stories, dreams, goals, and visions with the world through
social media.
