If you could change any part of your body, which would it be? Sure, self-love is an important aspect to a healthy mind-body relationship, but that doesn’t mean we don’t wish our thighs were a little tighter or our arms stronger.
British Military Fitness recently went on a roadshow to find out what the nations body hang ups are, making stops at Leeds, Manchester, Brighton, Birmingham, London and Edinburgh. We found that in London Men and Women’s biggest insecurity is their Stomachs. However, for men in the North 18% more are worried about their arms than in the South.
In London the biggest concerns were placed upon a mannequin, so the team behind the project could study what body parts could use some work:
Female Body Hang Ups
- Stomach: 41%
- Thighs: 14%
- Bums: 6%
- Bingo Wings: 6%
- Chest: 1%
- Back: 1%
Males Body Hang Ups
- Stomachs: 62%
- Chest: 26%
- Backs: 10%
- Thighs: 3%
- Bums: 0%
- Arms: 0%
