'If you love your body then why do you work out' is a question I get every time I go to the gym or do any type of work out. My answer is: 'I don't work out because I don't love my body, I work out because I do' ✨🧚♂️💕 Just because I don't have a 'toned' body doesn't mean that I don't work out, that I don't eat healthy or that I don't take care of my body. Another thing I often get told is that I'm 'promoting an unhealthy lifestyle' because I'm trying to normalize all types of bodies. To that I wanna say; 'you cannot base someone's health off of the way their body looks'. Having a skinny body doesn't necessarily mean you have a healthy body and take care of it. Having a chubby body doesn't necessarily mean you are unhealthy and don't take care of it. We could all eat the same, we could all do the same work outs and all of our bodies would still look different. Not everyone's body is build the same way, not everyone's metabolism is the same etc.. I don't work out to lose weight. I've spend way too many year of my life focussing on trying to match 'society's beauty standards', trying to have 'the perfect body'. I've always worked out, I just stopped doing it to lose weight/change my body. Now I work out to celebrate all my body can do, to feel better mentally and physically. I love my body and all it can do, all it allows me to do. So I work out for me, because it makes me feel good, because it's healthy, because it makes me happy, not to please a ridiculous beauty standard. ✨🧚♂️💕🌸🦋 #enjoyyourbody #selflove #liveyourbestlife #confidence #bodyacceptance
