Most people know about the magic of lighting and filters, and camera angles... and how what you see on IG is not always the truth.
But what about the difference between relaxed and flexed. When you see people flexed, can you tell what they look like relaxed?
I took a set of "before" pics because I am back (baby!) and am logging and working out again. I know where I can go and where I want to be (and this ain't it) and I was struck by the difference of relaxed vs flexed.
So... Here is my one minute before (relaxed) and after (flexed) photos. All taken tonight. All within mins of each other.
When I flex, I feel great. When I let 'er all hang out... I feel brutal.
Here's to embracing both people and sharing the realness of the pics I normally wouldn't dare to post in a selfie thread!

Note: I am not pushing my stomach out in the first pics. I am just letting my muscles relax.
If you want to share yours... Please do.
