Posting Workouts: Motivation and Inspiration, Not Narcissism

Apparently, posting your workouts makes you a narcissist.

But honestly, this could apply to a lot of things shared on Facebook. You posted about a great trip you took? Maybe you’re sharing a moment you enjoyed.

Maybe I have some insecurities or personal motivations behind it. That might be true. But I’m okay with that. This is who I am. Plenty of people feel the same way and just don’t say it out loud.

My question for those at Business Insider is, why single out the fitness community? Posting workout progress might be seen as seeking attention, but it’s also a positive thing that could inspire others. I know my progress at the gym has motivated many people. So if that makes me a narcissist, I’m fine with it.
