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.
I agree that having an appealing body is vital because it will help you feel better about yourself, because people are drawn to nicer looking objects regardless of what they are attracted to. But, you do not want to be too skinny because one, it is unhealthy for you, and two, it will make you look bad. I believe that there are certain risks of attempting to achieve a perfect body shape because all bodies are different, and if you wish to look a certain way, your body will not be capable of doing so. Another factor there are risks of pursuing an optimal body shape is that your body may go into shock if you don't work out before starting. I believe you should begin working out progressively. I don't believe anyone should choose one side over the other as long as they are happy with themselves and are in good health. People don't want overweight and sloppy jobs when they're looking for work; they want average body weight and long-term workers.
