It’s hard to deny that for many of us, perusing and posting images on social media is part of our daily routine. When it comes to your fitness lifestyle, what draws you to this medium? Desire for expression? Connection? Affirmation? Motivation? Curiosity?
Do someone’s pictures motivate you to take their fitness or nutrition advice to heart? Do you find it hard to resist a good “before and after” story that lures you in with dramatic photos? Are you partial to recipes that include pictures, or cookbooks with full-colour photography?
Some of us are prolific, posting pictures online like it’s our job (and hey, for some of us maybe it is!), while some of us prefer to look at and “like” what others share.
The most engaged among us dabble in both, creating and viewing images online. Sharing triumphs, challenges, a favorite recipe, a little love for our favorite leggings
whatever it is for you can be a way to boost our mood, nurture connections, and feel that we’re part of a community, if we are mindful of how we are engaging.
