It’s a picture any Instagram user will be all too familiar with.
A woman posing in front of the mirror, small bikini, tight abs, taut thighs, proudly flaunting her smooth, athletic body.
Well, a popular trainer (and prolific #gymselfie poster) has provided proof of just how problematic and misleading these images can be.
Anna Victoria, creator of The Fit Body Guides, has posted a side-by-side comparison of a carefully posed picture and another taken just moments later, in which she’s slumped on a sofa.
Or in her words: “Me 1% of the time vs. 99% of the time.”
