In the modern world, 'fitness' has become less about being healthy, more about pursuing unrealistic body ideals.
The concept of ‘fitness’ is more popular than ever. Terms are being thrown about like ‘clean-eating’, ‘protein cake’, ‘fitspiration’. Something fundamental to human life, taking care of our body, has been turned into a fad in the same way that people cute puppies or hipster fashion has.
