One of the pillars of All Day Fit is Body Neutrality:

"We educate people and help them understand how they want their bodies to look, feel and perform in a supportive and informative environment. We provide a safe space and resources (aka amazing coaches) that allow people to make their own decisions and form their opinions about their bodies."

We want to raise the conversation on body image, knowing that it is something in need of being discussed.

I hope you leave off reading this feeling inspired to strengthen your relationship with your body and to raise the confidence that you deserve. These tactics have helped me in my continuous journey of loving myself.
HERE ARE 5 TIPS TO FEELING NEUTRAL

1. Stop comparing yourself to others. Are you living the same life as the person on Instagram? No! So why compare yourself to them? When we invest our time on others, we lose the same time we could be giving to ourselves. Try turning this comparison into inspiration. It is ok to see where someone is and strive to find a similar destination. Try being happy for where they are and make a goal and a plan of how you could get to a place where you are happy too. Note that we are all different and this could look differently and lead us to different places... that's what is so beautiful about our own unique journeys!

2. Do a social media detox. Which accounts are serving you and which are hindering your confidence or making you feel negative about yourself? Delete them. It is not worth your time.

3. Accept your genetics. We are all born with certain traits and compositions that make us who we are. EMBRACE THEM! The sooner we start working with ourselves, the sooner we learn where our strengths can be found and what our unique differences are- use these to your advantage! Embrace YOU 🙂

4. Be your own friend. When a negative voice enters your consciousness, replace it with a positive one. Perhaps something you admire about yourself or something you are good at. Go ahead- try it! I CAN'T HEAR YOU! Here's to building positive-reinforced pathways in our brain, instead of negative rabbit holes- those are dark and scary!

5. Figure out what works for YOU . The newest diet trend, self-help book, or workout class may work for Jane next door, but it may not work or FEEL good for you. Start a journal where you track what you're doing on a day to day bases. What are you eating, who are you hanging out with? Take note of how they make you FEEL. If the answers are anything short of positive things, let them GO! A big step towards feeling good physically is how you feel mentally. We want to feel good from the inside out.

Here at All Day Fit, we are proud of our diverse community. We recognize the many strengths within and we are here to inspire you to chase those strengths! We believe in you and your journey <3

Lizzo fits Curvy Magazine like a glove! The iconic singer and rapper embodies everything we stand for. She is a black, fat, loud woman who demands her place in this world and is not ashamed of who she is. Quite the opposite! It is not unusual to see her dancing across the stage in her tight lace bodysuit or in glittering underwear - because if you love yourself, you have nothing to hide!

The themes of her songs are not only about body positivity and self-love, but also about sexuality and feminism. Her song "Cuz I Love You" is not only directed to her fans, but also to herself. Because "I Love You" can be addressed to other people, but also to your own reflection. The song is about learning to love yourself in a world that makes it so difficult.

Lizzo is an absolute role model in the Curvy Community, because she embodies the beauty of being curvy! She is not only known in Plus Size circles, but is also celebrated worldwide. Currently the singer can be seen on the cover of the German Cosmopolitan. Celebrities in the entertainment and music industry are also huge Lizzo supporters. It is not unusual to read comments by Cara Delevigne, Marc Jacobs, Ashley Graham or Melissa McCarthy under her Instagram Posts. If you pay close attention, you can even see Rihanna in the audience during one of her live performances!

On stage, Lizzo exudes an unbelievable amount of power and range, especially while playing the flute. Her voice is incredibly strong and her appearance is even stronger. Her music is somewhere between R'n'B, HipHop and Gospel - Lizzo's individual style. She grew up with Gospel, but already in her childhood she was influenced by the HipHop scene. Later she became interested in classical music and even studied to play the flute before she recognized her greatest talent: her voice. All these influences make her music so unique!

Winters in New York are brutal, and go on way too long. By March, as the frigid city thaws out into Spring, I'm usually stoked for longer days, warmer temps, and an excuse to trade in my chunky Winter sweaters for lighter flowy blouses. Summer seems like the light at the end of a dark, cold tunnel with one notable exception: the bombardment of advertisements and emails trying to sell me on the idea of a "bikini body."

As someone who works in media, I get about a hundred PR pitch emails a day. And while I find it pretty lame that fellow journalists often take to Twitter to groan about these emails - sure, it's annoying, but publicists are just trying to do their jobs - there is one version of the PR pitch that I can't delete fast enough. "Expert: How to Get Your Summer Body Now!" read one. "Getting in Shape for Swimsuit Season" read another. With publicists pitching workouts, diet books, supplements, plastic surgery treatments, sketchy "experts" and other unhealthy means of losing weight, nothing is more aggravating than putting these all under the umbrella of achieving a "bikini body."

And it's not just these PR pitches I get on the daily: group fitness instructors tout the importance of working out to achieve a "Summer body." There's faux-inspiration all over Instagram from influencers talking about getting "bikini ready" and bikini body workouts available online ( we are even guilty of it!), all driving home the pressure to look a certain way before you can even enjoy the Summer.

But here's the thing: I already have a bikini body. Sure, I haven't worn a two-piece swimsuit since Spring break my sophomore year of college (one of the many things I no longer do 10 years later), but my imperfect body is still a bikini body. Every body is a bikini body, whether we choose to wear one or not. People at every size should be free to wear whatever they want, wherever they want, especially to the beach or pool.

Whether I choose to cover up with a caftan or rock a bikini, I'm going to enjoy my Summer. I'm going to go for runs in Central Park. I'm going to drink overpriced Aperol Spritzes on hotel rooftops. I'm going to bribe my friends with a pool to let me crash one afternoon and I'm going to take the train out to Long Beach. My body will not prevent me from enjoying any of these activities.

Yes, I work out five days a week. I eat a healthy whole foods-based diet, drink over eight glasses of water a day, and get at least seven hours of sleep a night. But none of that has anything to do with looking a certain way or trying to fit into a specific mold. Women's Health banned the term "bikini body" from its magazine covers in 2015. It's time everyone else followed suit.
