Why not be happy for someone for a change?

When it comes to working out, alot of people act like their way is the best and everyone else is stupid.

Have you ever noticed this? Have you ever heard a guy that's into bodybuilding talk down about the workout routine of someone that was training for a triathlon; or a Crossfitter talk bad about a marathoner; or someone that's into yoga saying that the gal going to Zumba class was wasting her time; and vice versa to all of the above? I have! I've even been guilty of it myself at times, and I'm ashamed of that.

Wouldn't it be better to encourage others in their pursuit of fitness and wellness? If someone has a fitness goal, and they're working hard toward reaching it, feeling good and seeing improvements, why not just be happy for that person?
Looking down on people for an exercise routine that's working out well for them is about as silly as arguing with strangers on the internet.

I'm going to try and encourage others and celebrate their accomplishments even when it's not my "cup of tea" and I hope you will to!
