We’re living in the #InstaFit and #Fitspo era where fitness is more visible than ever. You can open up Instagram and watch minute-long videos of your fave fitness star’s workout or marvel at how perfectly they can execute a yoga pose on white, sandy beaches.
But how does that translate to you getting off your ass and working out right now, today?
The goal of this book is to take the focus away from fitness being about losing weight and trying to fit into whatever body ideal has been deemed acceptable for us. It’s about reclaiming your power, owning your body, deciding for yourself what jaw-dropping, head-turning awesomeness should look and feel like.
Whether you’re just starting out on your fitness journey, you’re considering giving up or you’ve lost your fitness mojo altogether, The Pocket Cheerleader will get you back on the right path. It’s a reassuring voice, a high five, a nudge when you don’t want to train. It's about celebrating your body through movement, keeping you motivated, inspired and interested in the sweat life.
I received a copy ahead of the January release date, as I supported the crowd funding for it. It is lighter on content than I was expecting but has a motivational and honest tone that people will enjoy.
An empowering and perfectly motivating reading for those who want to feel capable, healthy and active. Read it all at once for a serious dose of encouragement, or dip in and out with the bite-sized chapters, cleverly categorised according to what you need to hear depending on how you're feeling.
Really enjoyed this, just the kick up the butt I needed to pick up my kettlebell and the weights that have been gathering dust. Hope for the journey to reframing my thinking about exercise as something bringing me pleasure and happy hormones to continue from here.
