Physical Fitness and the Perception of Exercise
What does a healthy body look like to you? It’s pretty subjective, so most people are going to have a different answer. Someone’s perception of fitness comes from a variety of factors, such as psychological factors, physical health, social media, television, upbringing, cultural influence, and societal standards. Perception is just a thought, an idea of what is healthy doesn’t necessarily mean that it actually is. Take thin influencers or models for example. Most of them promote an unhealthy lifestyle, in favor of having a desirable body. Despite their unhealthy habits, they are still uplifted as the standard for a “healthy” body.
