Hey! If your workouts themselves are still syncing but just not the images, I wonder if there was a privacy setting within Strava that may have changed? I would get in touch with the TrainerRoad support team, they can help you look closely at both of your accounts and see if all the settings are dialed, or if it just requires a re-sync.

On his official Instagram account, Johnson shared a new collection of images from the set of Red One. The three images show the actor and Simmons - still in his Justice League shape - working out at a gym in the North Pole, complete with a red and white striped candy cane barbell. Along with the images, Johnson included a caption that calls his co-star the "the coolest, strongest, kindest, most bad ass, most loving & most OG Santa Claus of all time" and calling their location a North Swole Iron Paradise. Check out the images below:

This is, of course, just the new seasonal twist on the workout content that populates social media every day, all year long. It is now normal to know your old college roommate\u2019s Garmin stats, to see your former co-worker thirst trapping from his weight bench. And to know exactly who, among your acquaintances, bought a pandemic Peloton and how much they love Ally Love. (So much. They all love her so much.)

It\u2019s also normal to follow influencers with huge platforms who have built their entire brand around their workouts, or the body that has resulted from said workouts. Hilaria Baldwin films herself doing squats in her bathroom, while brushing her teeth. Brie Larson lets us know when she can leg-press three times her body weight. In fact, pretty much any mainstream celebrity or influencer in the beauty, fashion or lifestyle spaces is expected to check in with us before, after and during their workouts. We know their stats, we know their recovery smoothie recipe, we know their favorite sports bra. And in the case of dedicated fitness and weight loss influencers, we follow along as they dramatically change their bodies in short periods of time. As I write this, over a million of us are watching one such influencer, Lexi Reed, recover from organ failure caused by a \u201Cmystery illness.\u201D To study Reed\u2019s grid now is to see just how fast she went from posting gym selfies and motivational quotes to being in a medically induced coma. And now, the motivational quotes are back, along with discussions of her months on dialysis, fighting kidney failure, and shots of Reed in a hospital bed or a wheelchair, still #weightlossjourney.

Look, I have also posted many, many workout selfies in my time: Me in a yoga headstand. Me finishing the swim leg of a triathlon. I\u2019ve posted photos from woods walks with my dog, and from the time I went to a Jessamyn Stanley-taught yoga class in New York City. I think my most recent dedicated workout content was this past February: I InstaStoried a treadmill shot (calories redacted) of the first 15 minutes I managed to walk without pain, about a month after I fell in our icy driveway and sprained my ankle. But just yesterday, I posted a shot of me hiking in Joshua Tree (with a trekking pole to keep said ankle safe).

So before you read what I\u2019m going to say next, I want to be clear that I have been a part of this thing, too. And I get it. It\u2019s complicated. We\u2019re going to talk about it. But: Most of us need to stop posting workout selfies. Or at least, we should sit quietly for a while with why we do it. And name its potential for harm.

Social media algorithms are built for workout content. Instagram and TikTok love to show us bodies, preferably thin (or fat-but-getting-thinner), able, white bodies. These bodies are often caught in mirror selfies, or shot from above, with the camera angled down into cleavage. The algorithm loves a thin, bikini-clad woman jumping off a dock. It loves sweaty visible abs and a sucked-in stomach. It loves workouts shot in time lapse, #grind, and #progressnotperfection (accompanied by an image that approximates perfection). The algorithm will show these posts to many more people, many more times, than they will your post of your houseplants or your cute dog. This is why posting workout selfies, even if you are not an official Influencer, is a sure-fire way to get a load of likes and validation for this thing you\u2019re doing.

Some workout content clearly and deliberately leans into all of this: Lexi Reed\u2019s weight loss journey, of course. See also, posting your calories burned or pounds dropped. But we\u2019re leaning in as well anytime we engage in the vernacular of weight loss and body shaming\u2014\u201Ccheat day!\u201D \u201Cgotta earn those margs!\u201D\u2014whether or not we\u2019ve stated an explicit weight loss goal. These tropes all perpetuate ableism and anti-fat bias because they demonstrate your desire to not be fat or disabled.

But I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s all that much better even if we drop all the stats and weight talk. If we have thin privilege (and remember that we don\u2019t have to be very thin to benefit from thin privilege), our workout content is reinforcing the importance of striving for the thin ideal, even if our body doesn\u2019t perfectly adhere to it and even if we never talk about calories or weight loss. And, if we have able-bodied privilege, our workout content is reinforcing ableism. Neither of these things are entirely our fault. This is the cultural narrative we all participate in. We\u2019re constantly looking at thin, able bodies because that\u2019s what every form of media serves us unless we deliberately and consistently choose to see something different. And when we post workout selfies, we add to that litany of \u201Cgood\u201D bodies. We aren\u2019t challenging the norm; we\u2019re asserting our right to be counted within the norm. We\u2019re making it known that we have, in fact, earned those margs.

One common defense of workout selfies is that they\u2019re somehow okay as long as your intentions are \u201Cpure.\u201D As long as you aren\u2019t deliberately trying to make anyone feel bad about their bodies, because you aren\u2019t even thinking about other people\u2019s bodies, after all! You\u2019re posting because you\u2019re focused on your own body, and isn\u2019t that your own business? The photo is just proof that you did the thing. It\u2019s motivation. It\u2019s accountability. It\u2019s empowerment. And hey, if anyone is offended, it\u2019s free to unfollow.

Okay, so what about workout content that isn\u2019t selfies? These break down into a few categories. The first, which we can draw bright lines around, are the Strava, Garmin, Peloton, etc-manufactured posts that share your stats. It helps when people block out calorie counts, but other numbers (especially distances or times) also invite the audience to engage in unhelpful comparisons. I don\u2019t discount the fact that many people sharing stats like this are working towards goals that are giving them tremendous personal satisfaction. But is the documentation of that goal worth the potential cost to followers who will find these posts stigmatizing? Could we instead share this content with a smaller group of fellow exercise enthusiasts who have opted into the conversation? If not: Why do you want us to know how far or how hard? How do you hope we\u2019ll interpret that? Would you still do the workout if you couldn\u2019t tell us about it?

The next non-selfie category would be \u201Cexperience\u201D workout content: Posting a photo from a beautiful hike, or a swim in a lake. When I\u2019ve discussed workout selfies before on here, and on Instagram, a significant portion of you say that you feel differently about these, and I agree because we\u2019ve stripped away the stats, and maybe the bodies too. Maybe it\u2019s just a photo of a happy dog on a mountain, or your feet in running shoes. We haven\u2019t dispensed with the performance though. And it\u2019s worth noting: These photos still require privilege. \u201CHonestly, seeing content about hiking/skiing is more prickly for me than seeing exercise content, perhaps because my issues are more tied up in class/money/time, and my brain goes immediately to the past or current barriers between me and those kinds of activities,\u201D one commenter noted. They also involve able-bodied privilege. Anna Sweeney, a social justice-oriented dietitian who lives with MS, asks folks to send her #inaccessibleviews on Instagram, as a way of sharing beautiful places with folks who can\u2019t physically get there. (Anna and I also discussed ableism and diet culture here.) It feels like an important way to start that conversation, but clearly, we\u2019re not doing enough to make such places more accessible and inclusive.

The final category of workout content that deserves its own discussion is fat or otherwise marginalized people working out not for weight loss reasons. I want this one to be unequivocally good: Body diversity! Representation! Joyful movement! And I think there is so much good to be found in the work of Jessamyn Stanley, Meg Boggs, Unlikely Hikers, Ilya Parker, Ragen Chastain, Shannon Kaneshige, and more. They have helped me personally re-conceive of fitness as something I can do for myself, and even for fun, without metrics or body size goals. They also share knowledge and build community for folks who don\u2019t feel welcome or safe in traditional fitness spaces. (And to that end, I\u2019ll also shout out the work of inclusive fitness influencers in smaller bodies who work very hard at this: Lauren Leavel, Chrissy King, Jamie of Fitragamuffin, Casey Johnston.)

Fat people sharing joyful workout content helps us fight for space in a world that doesn\u2019t want fat people to experience joy in our bodies. See this Sofie Hagen post about climbing a mountain while fat (and out of breath). And, as Ragen wrote recently, it\u2019s not a failing (at any weight) to decide you just do not find movement joyful: ff782bc1db
