What we can learn from Sex and the City

This week Marije from Fitness Bible for Women is sharing the wise and healthy lessons from Sex and the City with us.

Marije: The Women's Fitness Bible team loves Sex and the City. It is not only a wonderful program to watch, Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda teach us a lot of wise lessons.

Read our favorites here.

SATC wise lesson 1:It starts with the basics…
Carrie:“The most important relationship in our lives is the relationship with yourself.” So true...!

SATC wise lesson 2:Always find a sport you enjoy doing!
Miranda:“You can also shop online”. Carrie:“No way, shopping is my cardio workout!”
Not a sportaholic? Shop till you drop!

SATC wise lesson 3:If you really want something, go for it!
Carrie:“I wish I looked like this”. Samantha:“Stop whining, do something about it!”
If you postpone something, you wonder if it really is that important to you.

SATC Lesson 4:Enjoy Life (Fitness Bible Commandment 8)!
Carrie:“You can only enjoy yourself to the fullest if you enjoy the moment, and don't worry about tomorrow. Only then will you really enjoy.”

SATC wise lesson 5:Guilty pleasures are part of it, and there is nothing wrong with that!
Carrie orders burgers, fries and… a Cosmopoliton at McDonalds. It is very unhealthy to live 100% healthy.

SATC wise lesson 6:Eliminate perfectionism from your dictionary (Fitness Bible commandment 9)!
Carrie:"Life gives us a lot of chances, a few to ruin it, and then do it right." Fear of failure is your worst enemy.

SATC wise lesson 7:Always choose your own way and stay close to yourself.
Charlotte:“I love you, but I love myself just a little more”.
