The Importance of Health Over Aesthetics in Fitness
Focusing on aesthetics as the primary motivation for working out can lead to unhealthy habits and negative outcomes. When individuals chase physical appearance, they often sacrifice overall health and functional fitness, which can result in dissatisfaction with their appearance over time. A holistic approach that prioritizes health and functional movement encourages better long-term results, such as increased strength, mobility, and mental well-being, rather than solely aesthetic improvements. Therefore, redefining fitness goals to emphasize health can have a beneficial effect on both appearance and self-perception.
