Social media has changed the way we communicate and receive information. It is now much easier to keep in contact with friends, communicate with loved ones and stay informed about current events. An automatic connection to a wealth of information is in the palm of our hands. For this reason, many of us have difficulty putting our smartphones and tablets down and disconnecting, It turns out a social media addiction may be the path to achieving your fitness goals as well as gaining valuable relationships within your new community.
As with most things in life, staying fit is easier when you have the support of your friends and loved ones. Social media provides the perfect way to get motivation, connect with others, gain encouragement and tips to accomplish fitness goals. Incorporating the following into your health and wellness routine can help to reach your goals faster:
1. Sharing Recipes
Researching and sharing recipes on apps like Facebook and Pintrest as well as other sites is a great way to find healthy food options or a new approach to a favorite dish. For many people, one of the hardest things about getting fit is finding healthy foods that they enjoy.
2. Track Your Progress
One of the best things you can do to reach your fitness goals is to use an app to track your progress. In the beginning, you may have had difficulty getting in 5,000 steps a day. As you progress, it’ll be good to see how far you’ve come from getting winded walking a short distance to being able to jog a 5K. Also, find an activity partner that wants to share your same goals, often social media is a great way to meet someone.
3. Find Support
Chances are your friends and family are also thinking about getting fit, but may not know where to start. By posting online about your experience, you can be the catalyst for someone else starting their fitness journey at the same time collaborate with other like minded individuals.
