How much exercise should you do? How fit should you be? What type of movements should you be focusing on? 

That will depend on who you talk to. Or rather who is talking to you, at any point of the day.

On TV, in the media, and 24/7 on social media, via the influencers and fitfluencers sharing what’s become an ideal version of arms, legs, abs and buts. 

Every day, we’re exposed to a version of what it means to be fit as a woman.

To some extent, it can be inspiring and motivating. But to another extent, actually harmful and even toxic. 

In this episode, we look at how pressures on women to achieve certain aesthetics have evolved over time, and have now hit news levels on social media. Especially through Instagram.

With special guests including Dr Nikki Stamp, as well as psychologists and researchers, we ask: how did "women's health" become so intrinsically linked with aesthetics?

The Women’s Health Project is a special podcast series created by Women’s Agenda and supported by Organon, the recently launched pharmaceutical company dedicated to a better and healthier every day for every woman.
