Sara Saffari, the Instagram sensation, who has acquired a huge following base of 1.9 million, has etched a significant name for herself in the realm of bodybuilding. At just 22 years of age, she has managed to harness the influence social media has on people and is often seen educating and motivating people to hit the gym and stay fit.

Sara Saffari’s holistic approach to leading a fulfilled lifestyle and taking care of how one looks physical sets her apart from the rest of the athletes.

Sara Saffari talks about being insecure about her thigh gaps 

The former television personality, Chris Williamson, was seen interviewing the 22 YO fitness icon Sara Saffari in one of the episodes of his Podcast series Modern Wisdom. In the video, the fitness star was seen gradually unfolding her journey to becoming the influential figure that she is.

As the video progressed, Chris Williamson started asking her about the trend of having thigh gaps back in the day. Recalling her own experience, Sara Saffari said, “I remember being at lunch in high school and like girls would look at each other and be like oh you have it, you don’t. The most toxic thing ever.”

She even stated how frustrating it got for her that she did not have a thigh gap and it disturbed her. She added, “I remember like I didn’t have one at the time of like I don’t think I ever had one but I would go home and beat myself about it because like girls would be pointing out how it’s like good to have a thigh gap.” She even added how she desired to look beautiful and have the perfect physique while growing up but she didn’t know how to get hold of it until now.

Sara Saffari talks about her admiration for women with abs

In the video, Sara Saffari also reveals how she was always taught that beauty was in being confident, but for her, the definition of being beautiful was absolutely the opposite of what her mother had been preaching to her. She had always found women with the perfect physique to be the most attractive, but she just didn’t have the right knowledge.

For Sara Saffari, getting abs was only a part of genetics. She said, “I thought it was like so I don’t know, attractive to me like that’s what I was aiming for, that’s what I wanted. But I never knew how to get there. Like I didn’t know like, oh how does a girl get abs. I thought it was just all genetics”. However, it was when she embarked on her fitness journey that she realized that getting abs and the perfect physique were all part of intense workouts and a strict diet, and, well, they indeed have been working wonders for her.
