After researching different reasons behind people's pursuit of fitness, there were several problems that were addressed. This included the eating disorders that people had and what they typically meant in terms of masculinity and femininity. As a result, several ideas came about that could be discussed and analysed including the idea to begin the essay looking at the reasons for people's pursuit of a body-image, why the ideal body's are what they are and how the media capitalises on this image.
During the discussion, it was brought up that there is a difference in the ways that body image ideals have changed over time and the fitness industry today is more centred on selling these ideals that ever before. Some things that may appear in the essay could include suggested ways that the industry could be changed for a more positive pursuit of fitness and to give people more appropriate expectations of body image. As a result of the essay it may then be possible to create something that will present these principles in a way that is personal to each person. For example, instead of using a body type that is unrealistic and highly unachievable to some, an app could be created that would utilise body statistics of individuals in order to imagine a body image that would be achievable through a personal meal and exercise plan.
