30 Relatable Comics About Everyday Problems Of Girls By Cassey Ho, A Fitness Blogger (New Pics)
The festive season is coming, and we all know what that means: we're going to stuff ourselves with food so much that by the time the New Year comes, we're going to swear that we'll exercise and live a healthy lifestyle. And then, by the time April comes, we'll lose all motivation, drop those dumbbells, and forget about them until the new festive season comes. And so the cycle will continue.
But that doesn't mean we all should give up trying to stay fit, and Cassey Ho is here to help us out. First of all, despite being a fitness trainer, blogger, and an active person in general, she struggles with the same stuff that we all do. That's a big relief. She's also very encouraging, as she's not a genetic freak, or a pro athlete, and most can relate with her. Second, she shares a lot of the stuff that goes on with her healthy lifestyle, in the gym, etc., and seeing such a training-heavy comic revives one's enthusiasm to start exercising again. The energy and the enthusiasm just come off so matter-of-factly and simply that it makes one think that achieving a fit body isn't as hard as one initially thought.

It's the second part of her ongoing comic series here on Bored Panda. If you want to see the previous part, you may find it here.
It's worth talking a little bit about the author of the comic, Cassey Ho Vinh. She's a successful American social media entrepreneur, and a founder of blogilates, a fitness apparel company that's taking off. She also writes blog posts, raising awareness for various fitness issues, and is the creator of a well-known pilates program called POP Pilates. Four years ago, Cassey was listed in Time's "25 Most Influential People on the Internet," and won a SHORTY award. In other words, she has real authority in the virtual space, and she uses that power for good.

It's obvious that Cassey loves working out, but pilates is easily one her favorite types of exercise. Pilates is where strength meets flexibility, and you have to work out in highly-focused movements, all while listening to some kick-ass music. In other words, it's quite fun, and it's designed for everybody. When somebody mentions pilates, sometimes it is met with a skeptical look, especially from manly macho men, but once they get in there, they're usually in a world of trouble, and leave the mat exhausted. In terms of workouts, pilates is as legit as they come.

Becoming fit is one thing, but staying fit is quite a challenge. Everybody knows that motivation dips with time, and if you take a break from exercise, it's hard to bounce back on the track. Here are a few tips that might help you stay on the path to a healthy life. First and foremost, set a goal, know what you're working for and what you want to achieve with training. This will definitely help you stay motivated, even in the darkest moments. Second, keep your expectations realistic, and try to set a goal that challenges you, without being so hard that you'll drop it, but also without being too easy for you to actually transform your body for the better. Last but not least, remember that consistency trumps high scores and peaks: you don't have to perform at 100 percent all the time, you don't even have start with long workouts; what's important is you should divide your exercises into bite-size pieces that you can "swallow"— nothing kills motivation faster than an inappropriate pace in your routine, and your body will subconsciously avoid high-stress activities.

Don't forget the comments about their before bodies: the guy has a dad bod - so inviting and comfy! - and the girl is just fat and doesn't take care of herself. Aghh!!!

This is so accurate, us women have no support, we dont have body image issues! Being skinny makes up feel like a new person, all body shapes are perfect! If men are encourage we should be too. Men can have body image issues too!

wtf, saying a woman doesnt have support is like saying a chicken has teeth. mate ask a man around if he get support/compliment for what he do, he'll be able to count them on his hands. Women are so damn praised everyday they forget the reality of life that's crazy

I do not know why people shame women for getting fit and healthy and shame them for being on the larger side and assuming they are lazy... It is very strange.

I have never heard of someone doing this to a woman because they lost weight If someone did im sorry but I haven’t seen, heard, or had it happen to me

I had multiple people telling me to "eat a burger". I got healthy and toned, but my weight didn't change. A friend was all over Facebook about her diet around the same time and got loads of compliments for her progress. I didn't advertise and I got nothing but negatives. I still look the same after 8 years and she gained all that weight back. It happens because some people crave the feedback.

Are they healthy (mentally & physically) and comfortable in their own skin? If so, it shouldn't matter what shape the person is we are all unique

This is BS. Nobody's actually impressed by muscles, but men would stare no matter how you look. You gotta have confidence.

Ok...when is all that supposed to happen when a guy loses weight? I mean, I lost some weight and and all I got was " wow, your like the human toothpick" skinny with some extra skin hangin off of me. When am I gonna get all "hawt"? Just wanted to say that I posted this jokingly. Wasn't ment to be serious,I know it takes work and discipline to get in shape like that.

I think it’s trying to show both sides of the arguement? Since a lot of comics are about shaming men for being fat and not the other way around, u know?

Up for more comics? Bored Panda has lots of them to offer, and here are just a few most recent ones. Lainey Molnar talks about everyday girl issues from her own perspective. But everyday life is a universal topic, and there are many relatable things that we all share, so here are some comics that talk about these common things we experience. People are more aware of physical health and physical fitness than they are of mental health and mental fitness. These two comics talk about it in their own unique way, one from the depression and anxiety angle, and in another comic, the author talks about their ADHD.

What if I just swallow it whole, like a snake? Or if I microwave it (to the consistency of a milkshake), then drink it?

Pretty much every woman with gorgeous hair she used to compare herself with (Beyonce, Ariana Grande, J.Lo...) wears/wore wigs. Just saying... Not everything we see is true... That being said, I admit I'm the first one to complain about my hair and envy those who have thick, healthy, luscious hair 😥

I agree. Almost everything you see on social media is just a lie, because it gets people riled up and jealous, leading to more things being posted on social media . . . etc.

The srt is fine, but this really adds nothing to the over-used 'struggles of women' genre (AKA 'daily life of average woman who worries too much about social media') Even when they are mocking about obession with body image and media, they are still echoing and fuelling the importance of those obsessions. Hardly anything in this type of cartoon is worthy of the description struggle - these are inconveniences of young, healthy people in the first world, who are not below the poverty line. It all seems very self-obsessed.
