Don't let social media overly influence your excise emotion

We all know that exercise is good for your health. That is no great secret. As the person who earned the undergraduate degree in physical education major and used to be a personal trainer, I believe I gained a greater awareness of the need for physical and mental fitness. 

But with the development of social media, no matter you noticed or not, our personal excise activities have been subtly influenced by social media. 

I am pretty sure you have seen some "Devil killer body" pictures on your social media at least one time. Or maybe you have read articles or posts some like "The best personal training plan ever,""How to lose 10 pounds in two weeks", these kinds of titles.

People who title them as "fitness expert" always post their hot body pictures on Instagram to attracting more followers or "show off" their perfect fitness plan or records on twitter, youtube or facebook to get more "likes."

Although those posts perhaps can motivate you to go to exercise at the beginning, more often it does not.

If you are fitness newbie, maybe you are just starting a new fitness plan, or maybe you are just broken your personal best fitness record. But if your social media shows your friend or followers they get a better record than you, your sense of achievement may substitute for the feeling of loss.

Don't let your social media overly influence your excise emotion and your plan! Don't get jealous about the other people's "perfect" body pictures. Don't get upset when you saw your network "friend" can successfully lose 10 pounds in a week but you can't.

In fact, each of us is unique and extraordinary. No matter what your lifestyle is, or your body's feedback on the exercise load. It's pointless to copy other people's training plan or compare your training record with others.

Just find out and follow the training plan best for you, stick on that. And don't let your social media overly influence your excise emotion. Eventually, you can get a better physical and mental fitness.

  1. This topic is interesting! I agree with you that social media are influencing most people's excise plans. When people are obsessed with connecting with others on social media, they ignore their self-improvement and fitness. I think social media apps on our mobile phones make this situation worse. I have heard a lot of news about how people played with their phones on their way to work or home and then fell into a lake or a sewer.
