​Having been in the fitness industry a decade, there have been countless times I've introduced myself to someone (a neighbor, the UPS driver, a stranger at the store etc.) and when I tell them my profession as a personal trainer/strength coach the knee jerk reaction I often come across is for the individual to be embarrassed and start criticizing their body. "Oh gosh, I need to lose this baby weight.", "Ugh, I'm so weak, I could never do something like that." "*blushes* I am SO out of shape." It breaks my heart every time someone feels like they need to justify how their body looks out of fear of judgment. I want you to know that you don’t owe anyone an explanation of where you’re at in your journey. You are a human being worthy of respect and acceptance in each and every part of your journey -whatever that journey looks like to you.
