Strong Is The New Pretty

Working out used to be a means to an end goal of looking trim. These days, however, my attitude towards exercise has changed. I find myself motivated less by physical appearance, and more by an overall desire to feel healthy.

Now that my daughter is a teenager, I especially want to show her how important it is to respect and have confidence in your own body. That exercise and being fit means living longer and feeling better. 

We all have so much potential for strength and power. Arms that can lift each other up; legs that can support us in times of trouble. Exercise makes us strong. And strong is the new pretty!
