Check out This Article from Science Daily.
The University of Florida performed a study on exercise and body image. The findings indicated that it did not matter how often the participants exercised, or even if they had reached any goals, fitness in your lifestyle WILL improve your body image, regardless of age or gender.
The article states that 60% of Americans are dissatisfied with the way their bodies look, and body image issues can start in kids as young as five. YIKES! They described the growing trend as an epidemic.
It's interesting that it doesn't matter if you're a total gym bunny, or a senior citizen exercising once a week, body image improves with exercise, regardless of benefits or results.
So here's some motivation for you: If you can only manage one workout a week, don't pass the opportunity because it won't make a difference. You will feel better about yourself, and like I always say, one workout a week is better than none. Maintaining results or your current condition is much better than having it deteriorate.
Get Fit!
