Exercises enhance body image for one and allA new University of Florida study has suggested that the simple exercise acts and not fitness itself can convince one and all that they look better.

Heather Hausenblas, a UF exercise psychologist, said that people who do not engage themselves in intense workouts like their athletic counterparts can still feel as good.

The study was published in the September issue of the Journal of Health Psychology.

From Sciencedaily.com:

“Body dissatisfaction is a huge problem in our society and is related to all sorts of negative behavior including yo-yo dieting, smoking, taking steroids and undergoing cosmetic surgery,” she said. “It affects men and women and all ages, starting with kids who are as young as five years old saying they don’t like how their bodies look.”

The psychological advantages of exercise have been less explored, including the reduction of depression or confidence in body image, compared with the well-researched and understood physical benefits, she said.

Kathleen Martin Ginis, a kinesiology professor at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, and exercise expert, while appreciating the findings remarked that this is an important study as it shows that any type of exercise performed on a regular basis has the potential to make people feel better about their bodies.
