Your selfie post may have more functional effect and benefit than you initially thought. While I often look up people I know on Instagram to find out what they are up to, I also look for inspiration from those who are getting results from dedicated, strategic training.
I also like to follow people that I know as opposed to random fitness models. Posting my own post workout selfie acts like a pseudo goal that drives me to the finish line – regardless of what the workout is.
What others say:
“Initially I would say no as most posts are carefully selected for vanity, as people don’t want to show a bad photo of themselves. For people that have struggled with weight issues and are using the posts to inspire and document progress, it can be a good tool.”
