Huomasin sosiaalisessa mediassa keskustelua siit\u00e4 miten nykyiset ulkon\u00e4k\u00f6paineet ovat jo niin vakava ongelma, ett\u00e4 ne aivan kertakaikkiaan est\u00e4v\u00e4t ihmisi\u00e4 harrastamasta liikuntaa. Olen seurannut my\u00f6s jonkin verran keskustelua aikuisbaletin harrastuspiireiss\u00e4 ja todennut ett\u00e4 joillekin balettisalin sein\u00e4n kokoinen peili tuottaa ahdistusta. Kun siit\u00e4 voi koko ajan n\u00e4hd\u00e4 milt\u00e4 naama n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 ja milt\u00e4 kroppa n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4. Min\u00e4 en ole koskaan ollut erityisen liikunnallinen, ennen kuin l\u00f6ysin baletin, mutta en ole ikin\u00e4 itse osannut ajatella, ett\u00e4 ulkon\u00e4k\u00f6 vaikuttaisi siihen haluanko tai pystynk\u00f6 harrastamaan liikuntaa. Olen aina pit\u00e4nyt sit\u00e4 uheilun ollessa kyseess\u00e4 varsin yhdentekev\u00e4n\u00e4 asiana. Ilmeisesti olen kuitenkin t\u00e4m\u00e4n asian suhteen jo jonkinlainen harvinaisuus.<\/p>\n

En itse tilaa enk\u00e4 lue liikuntaa ja kuntoilua k\u00e4sittelevi\u00e4 lehti\u00e4, mutta olen antanut itselleni kertoa, ett\u00e4 joissakin niist\u00e4 annetaan mm. neuvoja miten n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 hyv\u00e4lt\u00e4 urheillessa tai miten piilottaa \u00e4ll\u00f6tt\u00e4v\u00e4t hikitahrat vaatteissa. Jopa urheilu- ja kuntoilulehdet\u00a0siis omalta osaltaan yll\u00e4pit\u00e4v\u00e4t k\u00e4sityst\u00e4 siit\u00e4, ett\u00e4 joka ikinen hetki el\u00e4m\u00e4st\u00e4 pit\u00e4isi n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 vain t\u00e4ydelliselt\u00e4. Pardon my french, mutta olen aina kuvitellut ett\u00e4 liikunnan tarkoitus on hikoilla ja pit\u00e4\u00e4 fyysist\u00e4 kuntoa yll\u00e4. T\u00e4rkeint\u00e4 ei siis ole milt\u00e4 naama n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4, onko tukka hyvin ja n\u00e4kyyk\u00f6 kello (t\u00e4ss\u00e4 tapauksessa lienee askelmittari)<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 Edell\u00e4mainittuja asioita t\u00e4rke\u00e4mp\u00e4\u00e4 on, ett\u00e4 syke nousee ja lihakset tekev\u00e4t ty\u00f6t\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Olen t\u00e4st\u00e4 asiasta jokseenkin\u00a0j\u00e4rkyttynyt.\u00a0Vaikka en olekaan mik\u00e4\u00e4n liikunnallisuuden perikuva tai terveellisten el\u00e4m\u00e4ntapojen\u00a0guru niin haluan silti sanoa pari valittua sanaa. Liikunnan tarkoitus on yll\u00e4pit\u00e4\u00e4 fyysist\u00e4 kuntoa ja edist\u00e4\u00e4 terveytt\u00e4. Sit\u00e4 tehd\u00e4\u00e4n ja harrastetaan ihan vain itselle, oman hyvinvoinnin vuoksi. Okei, siin\u00e4 tulee hiki, mutta niin kuuluukin. Hikoilu ei ole pahasta eik\u00e4 v\u00e4\u00e4rin (ellei nyt sitten satu olemaan joku sairaus jota hikoilu pahentaa, en tied\u00e4 onko sellaista mutta disclaimer)<\/strong><\/span>. Jos et urheillessa yht\u00e4\u00e4n hikoile, joko et ole tehnyt sit\u00e4 oikein tai kuulut siihen ehk\u00e4 onnelliseen joukkoon joka hikoilee hyvin harvoin. Voin kertoa ett\u00e4 min\u00e4 en kuulu. Balettiryhm\u00e4ss\u00e4ni olen yksi niit\u00e4 harvoja jotka joutuvat turvautumaan pyyhkeeseen useaan otteeseen kesken tunnin. Koska olen yleens\u00e4 litim\u00e4rk\u00e4 jo vartissa. Se ett\u00e4 hiki n\u00e4kyy vaatteissa tai iholla kertoo vain ja ainoastaan siit\u00e4 ett\u00e4 olet urheillut, ei mist\u00e4\u00e4n muusta. Urheillessa naama punoittaa. Se on ihan normaalia, kaikilla punoittaa kovan treenin j\u00e4lkeen. Oma naamani punoittaa joka kerta\u00a0ja balettitunnin p\u00e4\u00e4tytty\u00e4 olen yleens\u00e4 kuin keitetty rapu. Urheilusuorituksessa pinnist\u00e4ess\u00e4 my\u00f6s ilme voi olla l\u00e4hemp\u00e4n\u00e4 irvistyst\u00e4 kuin hymy\u00e4. Sekin on ihan ok, niin se on meill\u00e4 jokaisella.<\/p>\n

Jos ja kun harrastat liikuntaa julkisilla paikoilla tai ryhmiss\u00e4, muista ett\u00e4 muut liikunnan harrastajat eiv\u00e4t tule sinne arvostelemaan ulkon\u00e4k\u00f6\u00e4si tai sit\u00e4 mille n\u00e4yt\u00e4t urheillessasi. He tulevat sinne tekem\u00e4\u00e4n sit\u00e4 samaa kuin sin\u00e4kin, liikkumaan, yll\u00e4pit\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n omaa terveytt\u00e4\u00e4n ja fyysist\u00e4 kuntoaan. Jos he tarkkailevat muiden suoritusta, se todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isesti johtuu joko siit\u00e4, ett\u00e4 itse tarvitsevat apua liikesarjan muistamisessa tai oikean tekniikan l\u00f6yt\u00e4misess\u00e4 (joka monien lajien ollessa kyseess\u00e4 on loukkaantumisvaarankin vuoksi \u00e4\u00e4rimm\u00e4isen t\u00e4rke\u00e4\u00e4)<\/strong><\/span>. Ymm\u00e4rr\u00e4n ett\u00e4 joillekin ylip\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4\u00e4n sosiaalisten tilanteiden pelko voi olla liian suuri kynnyskysymys, mutta yht\u00e4 lailla t\u00e4m\u00e4 sama p\u00e4tee my\u00f6s lenkkipolulla tai muualla jossa treenataan enemm\u00e4n ominp\u00e4in. Toivon siis ett\u00e4 kukaan ei j\u00e4t\u00e4 harrastamatta liikuntaa siksi, ett\u00e4 kokee itsens\u00e4 rumaksi liikkuessaan tai liikuntavarusteissa. Liikunta ei v\u00e4ltt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00e4 aina ole n\u00e4tti\u00e4, mutta ei sen kuulukaan olla. Liikunnan todelliset henkiset ja fyysiset hy\u00f6dyt ovat monin verroin t\u00e4rke\u00e4mm\u00e4t kuin se milt\u00e4 n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 sit\u00e4 tehdess\u00e4!<\/p>\n

I noticed\u00a0conversation in social media about how current social pressure of being beautiful is now so serious problem, it actually stops\u00a0people from exercising. I have been also following little bit of the conversation on the adult recreational ballet field and noticed that for some the wall-size mirror at the ballet studio is causing anxiety. Because you can see constantly how your face and body look like while doing the exercise. I have always thought that quite non-relevant when it comes to sport. Apparently I am now slowly becoming a rarity on that perspective.<\/p>\n

I don’t subscribe nor read exercise magazines, but I’ve heard that in some of them they even give tips how to look good while exercising or how to hide disgusting sweat stains on your sports clothing. So even the so called health magazines are keeping up the idea of looking perfect every single moment of your life. Pardon my french, but I have always thought that the purpose of sports and exercise is to get sweaty and keep up your physical health, not to look pretty. The idea is to to raise your heartbeat and make your muscles work.<\/p>\n

I am quite shocked about this revelation. Even though I’m not known to be the most athletic person nor the health guru, I just have to say couple things. The idea of exercise is to keep fit and stay healthy. It is done just for your own benefit, not for anyone else. Okay, it is sweaty, but so it should be. Sweating is not wrong or bad for you (well, unless you happen to have some sort of illness that turns worse when sweating, I don’t know if such thing exist, this is a disclaimer in case)<\/strong><\/span>. If you don’t sweat while doing exercise, you are either doing it wrong or you are part of that perhaps happy group of people who sweat very rarely. I can tell you that I’m not. I am one of the people in the ballet class who needs the towel several times during. I sweat already after 15 minutes, every single time. Visible sweat only\u00a0tells other people you have been sporting, nothing else. You also might get red face and that is completely normal. Everyone has a red face after proper exercise. Mine looks like boiled crab after a ballet lesson. Facial expressions might also look more like horrid grin like pretty smile. That is also ok, we all look like that.<\/p>\n

If and when you exercise in public places or in groups, just remember that other people didn’t come there to judge your looks, they came to do the same thing than you did. To have a good exercise, to maintain their own health and physical strength. If they are looking at other people, it is most likely because they need help on remembering the choreo or finding the right technique (which is vital in many cases, because wrong technique might cause risk of injury)<\/strong><\/span>. I understand that to some people the general fear of social situations might be too much, but this also applies to jogging and other places where you don’t really have to meet so much people. So, I hope that no-one doesn’t stop doing exercise just because they think they look too ugly while doing it or while wearing their sports gear. Exercise is not always necessarily very pretty, but it is not supposed to be pretty. The true mental and physical benefits of it are much greater than what you look like while at it!<\/p>\n
