It's the start of a new year, which means many people will be foraying into gym life for the first time. When you're there, it's important to remember that bodies come in all shapes and sizes and not to get intimidated by muscly, lean people who have perhaps been on their fitness journey for a very long time. That's exactly what fitness influencer and life coach Ella Mintram, who posts as @elmint on Instagram, wanted to share with her followers, as she frequently keeps it real with fans.
"Here's a lil reminder that people post what they want you to see, whether that's a more flattering angle or cutting out the parts that they don't want you to see," she posted as part of her caption online. Ella continued: "So here's to always showing you the other side. The side you don't normally see. The side that we ALL have despite nobody ever posting it.".
The video showed her posing from the front, with her leggings pulled high and a sliver of stomach on show as she wore a cropped sporty bralette top. The next angle she showed was of her doing weights on a machine, and her leggings had rolled down slightly to show off her stomach.
In the next short clip, the bralette moves slightly from right under her arm, exposing the flesh that everybody has. Because she was filmed from the side as well, her stomach didn't look completely flat - again, just like most people's. She explained: "You might not see these angles as much, but this doesn't mean that they don't exist! Your body moving, folding, and changing at the gym is completely normal.".
