Second Discussion Post- Answer the following prompt
This week we learned about unruly bodies, bodies that do not adhere to Western beauty and health ideals. Reflecting on the following reading “Who Gets to be Fit?” (Links to an external site.)and our other readings this week do the following assignment:
Since the beginning of shelter-in-place, you have probably seen numerous ads for gyms, diets, and exercise equipment to help you lose weight or maintain your size at home . For this assignment, you will conduct three google image searches: one will be for “fit woman,” another will be for “wellness,” and the last will be for “women’s health magazine.”
Use the reading to discuss: According to these images, what does it mean to be a fit, well, and healthy woman? What kinds of assumptions are being made about fitness, wellness, and health in these images that might marginalize women of color? Is there space for wellness for disabled bodies represented? What might an intersectional approach to fitness help us understand about how women of color perceive their bodies and what it means to be “healthy” and “fit”?
