Question

How does peer pressure affect your physical activity routine? What are two ways you can respond to avoid pressure during an activity or sport.

Answer 1

Peer pressure can contribute to unhealthy standards and pushing yourself too far to fit those standards. You can try to avoid those people who make you feel like that, work out privately, listen to music to tune them out, try positive affirmations, or if they’re bullying you or harassing you, telling them their opinion doesn’t affect you.
