You are Someone's Inspiration

Here’s something you might have never guessed? I bet in your gym and community, you are someone’s inspiration. I’m sure you’re thinking, who me? Yes, you! Running errands and picking up your children in fitness gear spreads a message of health and fitness. You’re probably so busy, you don’t even realize how many moms are wondering how you do it all. Being a fit mom is the way we live our lives, and it makes a statement. Have you ever considered that helping someone else is a tremendous motivator? Be that someone that takes the time to listen and to share your experiences. I believe we can all help each other.

My sister started a weigh in Friday at her children’s school with all the teachers. She’s helping so many people by taking the initiative to make health a focus. It’s this kind of thinking that makes our goals, well, our goals. Here are some practical ways to apply this to our lives:

• Organize a weigh in at the office, gym, or your circle of friends.
• If you are a personal trainer or dietician, offer to speak at your children’s school.
• Help someone get started by sharing what you do in the gym.
• Invite someone from work or a friend to your favorite fitness class.
• At office parties and school functions bring healthy snacks.
• If you’re a new mom, get other moms together with your strollers to go for walks, and follow mommy boot camp workouts together.

Don't you think leading by example makes you accountable?
So wouldn’t you agree that helping someone else reach their fitness goals, will push you to work even harder?
