Tasia Percevecz is a CrossFit athlete and fitness trainer and influencer. She shares a lot of wellness tips and body positive messages on Instagram. Recently, Percevecz posted a video of herself lifting weights. She captioned the post, “Keep going. Keep growing. 🌼 @2poodperformance. When I wrote these words on my Daisies belt 2.5 years ago, I had no idea how many life changes were in store for me and how impactful it would be to read these words every time I wore this belt when I was training.”
1. She Embraces Change
In her Instagram post’s caption, Percevecz talked about the importance of change. “Change is difficult and uncomfortable. And change is a necessary part of growth. And oftentimes this growth comes through uncertainty, loss, heartache, and pain. Thankfully, God gives us the strength to weather this change. Not only that, but the scariest changes tend to lead to the greatest growth!”
2. She Lifts Weights

In her recent Instagram video, Percevecz is seen lifting a barbell. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights is very beneficial. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”
3. She Doesn’t Subscribe To Diet Culture
Percevecz uses her platform to spread body positivity. One thing she speaks out about is diet culture. Percevecz talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Diet culture is a multi-billion dollar industry that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It profits off of your fears, you hating your body, and you jumping from diet to diet. Ultimately, optimal health and self-worth aren’t found in disordered eating patterns or six pack abs. It is found in- Nourishing your body. - Tuning into what your body is telling you. - Moving your body in a way that feels good. - Knowing that your worth remains constant despite your body changing. - Living free from the lies of diet culture. The good news is that when you become aware of and can recognize these messages you can start to explore and unlearn them.”
4. She Goes Rucking
Percevecz likes to go rucking to keep herself in shape. She shared what she loves about it in the caption of this Instagram video. “Why should you start rucking? 1. Improves cardiovascular health. 2. Combines endurance and strength training. 3. Strengthens your bones. 4. Improves mental well-being. 5. Great way to connect with others. 6. Gets you outside. 7. Brings you to the present moment. 8. A way to challenge yourself. 9. Low risk of injury. 10. It’s fun!”
5. She’s Body Positive
Percevecz is all about body positivity. She encouraged her followers to have the same attitude in the caption of this Instagram post. “Please remember that your body image is informed by a lifetime of messages tying a woman’s worth to her appearance among MANY other factors. This is why diving deeper into the root of these feelings can be helpful. 🤍 Your body is GOOD.”
