Why do personal trainers love her? Because she drives women crazy wanting to look like her (even if the pictures they are looking at aren’t necessarily an accurate representation of her)
But why do these personal trainers also hate her?
Because the same women come in asking to look like her – which 90% takes more work than they are willing to do. It also sometimes is not genetically possible – there are always exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking, the rule is a rule for a reason.
My dream client would walk in and say this:
“I am looking to be as fit and healthy as I can possibly be”
That might not mean being a size ‘zero’
It might not be running marathons
It might mean not getting sixpack abs (they aren’t necessarily healthy at a certain point)
But it would be striving to reach your potential – your own personal best and not anybody elses.
Because the truth be told, maybe Marisa could look better… But it doesnt matter if you can look as good (or better) than Marisa. It matters that you can look and feel and be healthier and fitter than yourself right now at this moment in time.
Think about that… What would it look like if you were to just focus on you – not any sisters or brothers or friends or role models or sports heroes or supermodels or non-existent airbrushed figments of some photographers imagination.
What if you compared yourself… to you?
What if you took the you right now as a starting point and tried to improve upon that?
With dedication and devotion, you might find that you gain not only change in a positive direction, but a feeling that can only be described as pride in ones self.
Instead of shame for not looking like Marisa Miller.
