EP 29 - Call of Booty: Is the Fitness Industry Becoming Hyper-Sexualised?
Hey Flexy Fam,
In this week's episode we discuss a topic that made some waves in the media recently following a post from popular Australian fitness influencer, Kayla Itsines.
A link to an article on this controversial post is in the episode, but in a nutshell, Kayla came up against polarized opinions for raising an issue that we have likely come across at some point: the increase of sexualised fitness content, in particular, booty thirst traps.
We discuss both sides of this topic and the grace that should be extended to those on both sides of the debate, whilst also weighing in on the responsibility to authenticity that rests on social media influencers' shoulders, in particular those in the health and fitness industry.
Enjoy!
