Body neutrality emphasizes acceptance of one’s body without attaching value to its appearance. This concept shifts the focus from aesthetics to functionality, encouraging individuals to appreciate what their bodies can do. It relates to fitness by promoting physical activity for health reasons rather than superficial goals. By fostering a neutral perspective towards one's body, individuals can engage more authentically in fitness without the pressure of societal expectations around appearance. This approach can alleviate anxiety and improve mental well-being while still promoting a healthy, active lifestyle.
