Fitspo

I'm a relatively diverse person, or at least, I like to think so - if that's the case or not, I don't much care. However, one of my greatest interests and passions is fitness and nutrition - I don't think that's a huge shock to anyone who has even an inkling of know about me. I love the fitness community, and I equally adore the research and science behind everything body and mind related. However, I'm growing increasingly weary of seeing "fitspo" (fitness inspiration) posts. Quite frankly, they all say the exact same thing by some measure or another. I understand people sometimes need to motivate themselves, but posts are so redundant. I mean, how many quotes are there about "never give up"; let's be honest, 98% of the posts reflect that thought in one way or another - as they should, obviously, but posting numerous posts saying the same thing every day can get a bit tedious. I've thought of erasing posts on my social media sites due to the massive influx of unoriginal fitness motivation. I posted this stuff, too, mind you, but recently (the past year or so) I've gotten worn down with the incessant need to recharge ourselves with mindless quotes (for example, "I'll keep getting beat down, and I'll keep getting up" > all I can think is.. "damn, what an idiot... try something else instead of hitting your head on the same wall."). My idea of motivation is different from other's way of motivation, this I understand, but I'm only expressing how tired I get of seeing the same brainless one liners (a little like movies... don't go there, Nic.. compose yourself..) being pasted on the background of some super model or hot hunk lifting 500 lbs.

Enough already, I get it - you're going to give your best in the gym, I read you loud and clear.

I guess this is why I consider myself cynical. :-P
