followers of fitspiration hashtags report being inspired to exercise and eat healthily
When individuals see that something online is working in a positive way, especially when all shapes and sizes are being displayed, I believe that they are more inclined to continue or start their own health journey.
The majority of fitspiration posts consist of images of thin and athletic women promoting exercise, fitness, and healthy lifestyles.
I think that this is important to take note of. I know a lot of people who are discouraged when working out or doing other physical activities because they see a certain image of how someone is "supposed to look" and it makes them lose inspiration. Everyone is so different so comparing yourself to someone who was most likely born a specific way is not good at all.
