This week, Marije from Fitness Bible for Women shares profound, health-focused lessons drawn from Sex and the City.
Marije: Our team at Women's Fitness Bible absolutely loves Sex and the City. It's more than entertaining TV—Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda deliver timeless wisdom on life and well-being.
Here are our top favorites.
SATC Lesson 1: It starts with the basics…
Carrie: “The most important relationship in our lives is the relationship with yourself.” So true!
SATC Lesson 2: Always find a sport you enjoy!
Miranda: “You can also shop online.” Carrie: “No way, shopping is my cardio workout!”
Not sporty? Shop till you drop!
SATC Lesson 3: If you really want something, go for it!
Carrie: “I wish I looked like this.” Samantha: “Stop whining, do something about it!”
Postponing reveals if it's truly important.
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 it.”
SATC Lesson 5: Guilty pleasures are part of life—and that's okay!
Carrie orders burgers, fries, and a Cosmopolitan at McDonald's. Living 100% healthy isn't sustainable.
SATC Lesson 6: Eliminate perfectionism (Fitness Bible Commandment 9)!
Carrie: “Life gives us plenty of chances, a few to mess up, and then get it right.” Fear of failure is the real enemy.
SATC Lesson 7: Always choose your own path and stay true to yourself.
Charlotte: “I love you, but I love myself just a little more.”
