Fitspo? Hell No!

This week on All Fired Up I spoke with Jodie Meichelsen, exercise physiologist and Doctoral candidate (as well as one of our fierce UNTRAPPED guides) about the rage inducing world of Fitspiration. Kayla Itsines, queen of the Fitspo world, is wanting IN to the world of body positivity! She's sniffed out that feeling good about your body is the 'next big thing' and is now pretending that she's all about that. Sorry Kayla but NO. Body positivity exists to push BACK against messages like yours. Jodie and I talk about how statements like this from people who are still busily peddling images of physical perfection is gaslighting and confusing. Money is the motivation here, not social justice. In this enlightening episode, Jodie talks sense about the research on Fitspo and how it impacts our attitudes towards exercise and how it affects our mental health. We also talk about what genuine body positivity is, and how to find inspiration that genuinely supports our wellbeing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
