Body Shaming

There's certainly a lot of discussion about body image recently - whether you are a female Olympian, or Jessie Graff at the Emmy red carpet, or Wentworth Miller. Personal Trainer Karen Siah knows what it’s like to be judged for your physique, even though that is not the point of fitness. The personal trainer discusses body positivity versus fat acceptance, how men are not spared from body shaming, and how to get fit and healthy both physiologically and psycho-socially.
