Two fitness tips you’d like to share.
Do not compare yourself to anyone, be your own competition instead. Everybody has a different body type and different goals. There’s always going to be someone you find fitter, thinner or sexier than yourself. Focus on your own body and goals and try to outdo yourself.
Understand your body type and work towards your goals accordingly. This is very important, especially for beginners. Whether you’re overweight or underweight, you have to exercise and eat according to your goal. The same training and nutrition plan will not work for everyone.
