According to a new University of Florida study, the simple acts of exercise and not fitness itself can convince you about your “smart” appearance.

It was remarked by Heather Hausenblas, a UF exercise psychologist, that individuals who do not attain workout milestones like gaining strength, boosting cardiovascular fitness, and losing fat feel as good as their more athletic peers.

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

From News-Medical.Net:

“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.

The study found no difference in body image improvement between people who met the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines by exercising at least 30 minutes a day five days a week and those who did not, Hausenblas said. The guidelines are considered the minimum amount of exercise needed to receive the health related benefits of physical activity, she said.

Kathleen Martin Ginis, a kinesiology professor at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, and exercise expert remarked while praising this research by saying that this study shows that any exercise on a regular basis can help individuals feel better about their bodies and frequent bouts of lower intensity exercise can easily enhance body image.
