- In her talk, Leanne will argue that striving for a perfect, skinny appearance is not the answer to obesity. Instead, the focus should be on functional fitness and incorporating exercise in our daily lives for all the benefits it brings, not just weight management.
Leanne Spencer is an entrepreneur, speaker and bestselling author. Born in Dorset, she spent 17 years working in the City of London before suffering burnout and leaving to establish her business and to follow her true purpose, which is to campaign for gender equality and the promotion of positive female role models for young people. Leanne now spends her time giving talks on the importance of positive female role models (“you can’t be it if you can’t see it”), and why we all need to change our attitudes towards food, fatness, fitness and most importantly, how we look.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
As a dad bod who can run marathons, I concur
Excellent talk highlighting the importance of keeping fit and healthy, as opposed to being obsessed with body image. Leanne emphasises that the focus should be on keeping one's body healthy and fit rather than striving for an unachievable body shape.
Thanks Leanne, you're absolutely right, I am 49 years old and I started my daily work out routine 4 months ago and it feels good
well said, i'm on it!!.... its only took me 48 years but i feel better than i ever have just after 3 weeks daily walk/running, best thing is i know i can feel even better the sky's the limit now
I have been on a fitness journey for years on end now. I just came to the realization today that, I used to press the 6mph button on the treadmill but now I run 6 miles in an hour on the track! Came a long way, and still further to go!
Watching this was a good thing. I am trying to come to terms with the fact that I can be fit, but not look like I did at 30. Am I still obsessed with my body image? Oh yea, but I am "getting there" in regards to fitness.
Empowering message. Thank you.
Great talk! This could also be applied to men using steroids. At its core the issue is the same; putting aesthetics before good health.
Great talk! I’m more inspired to keep up with my exercise regimen. It’s an investment in the future!
Superb talk!
Brilliant Leanne, thank you...
Awesome talk, Leanne. Great to see you spreading the word.
Brilliant talk thanks Leanne! Absolutely agree 100% Let's all focus on staying healthy and happy rather than skinny being the ideal. Love that work you're doing in shifting paradigms and your de-bunking myths. Keep it up!
Amazing talk... Thanks for motivation
PTSA in every school (public and private) can get 30 minutes of fitness exercise each day
very honest and clear speech. Thank u so much!
very nice talk.Loved it thank you
Really great talk & so important (especially for the younger generation) - too many people are chasing physical perfection which is unachievable & is likely to end up in a very unhealthy lifestyle.
This is a good talk. I had to watch this for a school assignment. I like it!
Great talk, thank you
