Influenced by a magazine?

Influenced by a magazine?
I mentioned before about fitness magazines and how we want to be like the people we read about.
Sometimes it seems like these people are ultra fit and we want to be just as healthy or good looking as them.

Studies shows that these kinds of magazines can actually make us depressed. If you read a magazine that only shows people with perfect bodies you are more likely to put more pressure on yourself and consequences are that you feel less good about yourself.

It´s good to remember that even superstars, or especially superstars, don´t come out perfect in a photo. Retouch and Photoshop is an unspoken law in glam business.

This has been know for a long time but now researchers are sharing their discoveries with the rest of the world.
According to this study, women who exercised and read fitness magazines featuring hyper-fit, images of women reported more anxiety and depression than those who read magazines with no idealized images. Previously published research has consistently shown improved depression, anxiety, and mood after physical activitylinks alone; however, this study indicates that the inclusion of certain fitness magazines during activity have the potential to wipe out psychological benefits


Have a look at what kind of magazine it is that you read and think about how good it is for you. Maybe you are too influenced by it? And does it have any effect on your training?
