Influencers (2024/090)

A sort of mixed-bag post... on how good examples motivate others in fitness and sports skills.

Let's start with a pair of young acrobatic gymnasts in California who went to a show put on by some professionals (Jack and Tiego) and then explored some of their training videos. This is what they saw:

...then they found this on Tiego's instagram:

...and then they had a go...

...OK, got to work on releasing the arms... and then (wait for it after the repeat of Jack and Tiego):

Seriously good work there, wouldn't you say!

This could be their next challenge:

Maybe the acro boys will give that one a go.

Meanwhile, working in pairs means that each challenges the other a bit:

Maybe the influencer is dad - especially when he takes part too:

 

...and then Odin (in the previous videos), inspires brother Loki:

Here, dad is the influencer, challenging his two young sons:

 

This one is quite challenging for two groups of two: 

This influencer is determined to show off his outdoor workout - in the snow:

OK. Enough of guys showing off or imitating others! The rest of this post reverts back to gym bunnies just showing off in their gyms - feeling smug about doing so but, hopefully, seeking to influence others to get as fit as they are: if these 'bods' don't inspire you to get into the fitness mindset, then this blog is probably a waste of your time!
