Fitness Media Influences
Positive effects of Instagram:

Instagram is community media platform where people can post about their daily lifestyles and progress. Physical fitness can be one of those lifestyles that Instagram users can come to and post to show others their progress, demonstrate several exercises, and influence others to make effort onto a healthy physical lifestyle. Instagram has a great quality personal trainers who post their clients reaching their fitness goals. These posts make people desire to get into fitness and motivate themselves. Instagram also has a lot of transformation photos of people who have lost a large amount of weight motivating them to also try out on modifying their body through physical activities from these posts. These posts can help motivate people to lose weight and get into a better lifestyle. Ehrlan Veera also speaks on how people are able to share their love for their sport through Instagram. Media users would also post about a particular sport they are interested in and find other that are attached to their activity and introduce it to others. Communities can also adhere their progress their sport and gain encouragement from their peers when reaching their goals.

 Negative effects of Instagram: 

Instagram can cause harm for the reason that people compare themselves to fitness professionals and models who have a very fit physique. Seeing lots of people who appear to be healthy and fit can have people comparing themselves and not liking what they see in the mirror. Whereas people who have a nice physique, can make people develop eating disorders and body dysmorphia. Eventually, this can lead to use of steroids and performance enhancing drugs to help improve the look of peoples physique. A side effect of doing this is people prioritize hoe they look and not their health which makes it unhealthy to do. In an article by Elena Chatzopoulou, she explains about how people see the standards of males with big arms and abs and women as thin and lean. These standards make it difficult for people on the internet to not compare themselves to those who are physically fit. Chatzopoulou also talks about how body dysmorphia can cause people to value their appearance over their health. Understanding how influencers look with considerable bodies can cause some people to take anabolic steroids in order to look like the people they see online. Having to recognize your body image negatively can lead to negative behavior, depression and anxiety. Social media fitness can be taken negatively, however, in an article by Wood and Watson, speak on navigating social media. To prevent negative effects of fitness social media should the consumer ask the credibility of the creator. Another helpful tip on harmful effects of fitness media is to understand them as challenges and not make them demotivate thoughts about your well-being.

 Instagram during Covid-19 

During the lockdown, people were limited on physical fitness and maintain a healthy lifestyle. This caused a lot of people to gain weight because of the lack of access to gyms and fear of going outside. Physical fitness during Covid-19 was promoted because personal trainers were unable to do their jobs so they transferred to online coaching and encouraged fitness online. Fatima Stanford talks about the positive effects of instagram fitness during the Covid-19 pandemic. She includes saying about the isolation and quarantining that came with the virus, gyms and usual places people go were closed. With people disconnected from their usual routines, physical therapists decided to post workouts on Instagram in order to help some people keep up with their physical appearance due to limited access to gyms.
