Andre Agassi was in a Canon commercial years ago where he mentioned that image is everything. Well, body image (check out "Fitness is NOT an Event" from June 2009) certainly influences people and physical movement. Does it influence you?
The human body is the best work of art. - Jess C. Scott, Contemporary Fiction Author
Some people are labeled as skinny when, in fact, they are lean and strong. The lean are within normal weight ranges based on height. Another TEEM Rule of Thumb says that if someone is healthy and practices good habits versus someone who does not practice good health habits, then that particular person should not criticize the well-practiced person. The one not practicing good habits can comment and advocate. But, subtle or blatant criticism is not allowed.
Therefore, through the twist of motivation, body image plays a large role in exercise and in nutrition fitness goals. For example, pick out a person who takes care of their body and whose behaviors influence you in some capacity. Use this individual's body image as motivation - have you ever looked at an athlete, model, or avid-exerciser and said, "I just have the urge to move?" You might even get your inspiration from a friend, relative, co-worker, stranger walking down the street, old photograph, TV but limit the amount of time watching"the tube", movie, history book image, and more.
A fit, healthy body - that is the best fashion statement. - Jess C. Scott
True. True.
