A little more info on why I detest fitspo. Far from encouraging people to be active, it is actually associated with a reduction in participation in sport, particularly by teenage girls. Whether in regard to nutrition or exercise we must focus on achieving healthy behaviours and healthy, sustainable habits. If we strive for the attainment of a particular body shape or characteristic, we are left vulnerable to doing unhealthy things in an effort to get there (and probably still wont). Health does not equal a low body weight, flat tummy, thigh gap, bikini bridge or chiselled abs. Clean up your facebook, instagram and twitter feeds, unfollow threads that make you feel bad about yourself, delete your fitspiration pin boards and replace it all with some body positivity or, even better, take a social media break. blogs.flinders.edu.au/flinders-news/2014/10/07/social-media-puts-body-conscious-girls-off-sport/
