Hey Ladies! We women put so much thought into looking good, don’t we? That is why companies like Maybelline and Clinique aren’t likely to go out of business even in a miserable economy. I am also one who has fallen in love with that dress in the window because it will accent my best features more than anything in my closet at the moment.
As a former aerobics instructor and personal trainer, however, there is something that I notice about many of us; our fixation on improving our bodies. Now, even though not every woman has this fixation, there are enough of us to feed the comical world from stand up to sit-com. Many of us find it funny because even if it isn’t you or me; we can relate.
Women in my classes would often request that I did a routine that will work their abs, butt or both; it was almost always abs or butt. I felt tremendous relief when a woman would request an arm, chest, back or leg workout. When I moved to California, my persuasion to work antagonist muscles just didn’t fly at all; it was abs and butt all the way.
There will be nothing more satisfying than to make peace with your body. Take it from me, I used to obsess about my body. I just felt like I wasn’t ever skinny enough and yet even before my days of fitness, people would always tell me what a great figure I had. I used to do local modeling which I thought would improve my confidence and self image, ironically it made my self-image far worse. Everything else fell into place once I made peace with my body. I just decided one day that I wasn’t going to get skinny, I was going to get healthy!
