Plus, How to Workout When You Have No Time [Fatherly_Seahorse]( The dude on Instagram with a six pack who’s always chronicling his family’s fun adventures. That guy down the street with the Model X. The other parents at your kid’s preschool who always seem to have it together. No matter how much you have or how hard you work, there always seems to be someone who has it better than you. Or at least that’s what your envy tells you. Parenthood is especially ripe for envy, and social media makes it hard to avoid. But instead of trying to eliminate envy altogether — a nearly impossible feat — you can make it work for you. Because, chances are, that envy you feel is trying to tell you something, and that something is more than “Man, I want a Model X.” SELF [16Article1]( [How to Turn Your Envy into An Opportunity]( Harnessed properly, envy can help you refocus your goals, understand yourself better, and work smarter. [Here's how to do it.]( [READ THE STORY]( [bottomquote-psd]
Envy doesn’t have to be a drain on your well-being and relationships — and as long as you notice it and you’re willing to shift your perspective a bit, it can even help you grow.

You Can’t Stop Comparing
Look, you’re you. You’re not Arnold, you’re not Brady, you’re likely not even close. That’s okay “When you look at The Rock and say I want to look like that so I’m going to work out like that, you’re not taking into account where you are with your fitness,” says Shaun Jenkins, senior trainer manager at Tone House in New York City. The Rock has a lifetime of workouts on you. Sure, you might be able to squeeze out one rep of his set of 10. But you’re also likely to pull a muscle and sit the next three weeks out. “Don’t allow your ego to supersede your capabilities,” says Jenkins. 2. Mistake #2: You’re Lifting Too Heavy
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. When it comes to how much iron to pump, the rule of thumb is to underestimate your strength by 20 percent and go from there. “It’s hard to find an exact reference point for what you should lift,” acknowledges Jenkins. “So, if you’ve never done any weightlifting before or you’re starting back after a break, pick the easiest weight as a base to build on.” Once you do seven to 10 reps and get your form set, add another five to 10 pounds. Do another set. Still too easy? Add a few more pounds. You’ll find the sweet spot when you struggle with the final rep in a set of 10 without breaking form.
