Question

Exercise has numerous health benefits. It conditions your heart and lungs and helps your body fight disease. Many people believe that exercise can help you look better too. For example, cardiorespiratory exercises can slim your waist and strength-building workouts can enlarge your muscles. Stretching can shape and tone your body. Is having an attractive physique important? Why or why not? What dangers, if any, do you see in pursuing an ideal body type? What does an ideal body type for a man or a woman look like to you? What sources in your environment and social circles influence how you define ideal body type? Share a real-world story about how the pursuit of an appealing physique succeeded or failed for an individual. Borrow the story from the news or share an experience of your own.

Answer 1

Write about how having an attractive physique is somewhat important, because many people are quick to judge, and sometimes you won’t be offered a job, or you could possibly be laid off from a job if you don’t have an attractive physique. (especially in customer service, hospitality and health based fields). Also, talk about the attractive stars in Hollywood, and how you’ve been conditioned to think that the men and women seen in the media are the ideal. Finally, share a story about you or a family member/friend’s weight loss journey. Talk about what it was like for them, how it changed them, etc. I hope this helps!
