"Tyranny of Perfection - Why We Need Realistic Fitness Goals"
I don’t know about you, but I find those people on YouTube with perfect-looking bodies more intimidating than inspiring. Who even has time for that unless it’s your full-time job? And let’s be real—some might be resorting to steroids or other extremes. Should we all really be striving for this new, bulked-up ideal that has so little to do with actual health?
When you’re asked to achieve perfection, it feels like an impossible task. Just thinking about it makes me want to lie in bed and binge Netflix. But setting a manageable goal, like stretching for just 3 minutes a day? That’s something I can commit to—and build from there.
That’s one of the reasons I’m putting myself out there. We need different role models. We need real people with real lives and real stories to share. Yeah, I know I don’t fit the current fitness ideal, but then again, this channel isn’t for everyone.
What about you? Do you feel more motivated by real, relatable goals or by the pursuit of perfection?
