Exercise can be bad for you

TEXT 2 - Read the text and answer the questions
from 05 to 09.

April 24, 2004

Feeling guilty because you
missed an aerobics class? Relax.
Punishing yourself over missed

work-outs is a sign you need to reassess your

approach to exercise, experts say. It might not be
healthy.
Jonathan Mond, senior research officer in the
department of psychological medicine at Canberra
Hospital, has conducted a survey of womens
exercise and eating patterns which revealed some
problems: over- exercise, exercise for the wrong
reasons, and too much guilt. And it has uncovered
the truth about exercise; hardly anyone does it for
enjoyment. In his study of 230 women aged 18 to 45,
Dr. Mond found 70 per cent exercised regularly and
12 per cent exercised for at least an hour every day.
Among the 169 who exercised regularly, 10
per cent did so for 10 hours a week or more.
One woman exercised 33 hours a week.
The survey examined the relationship
between exercise and eating disorders such
as anorexia and bulimia. It also asked: when is
exercise bad for your health? It found women who
always felt guilty after they missed a regular exercise
session were most likely to rate highly on measures
for eating disorders. About 12 per cent of regular
exercisers were in this category.
Also vulnerable to eating disorders were the 20
per cent of women who said that a very or
extremely important reason for exercise was to
improve their body shape or tone or to improve
their appearance or attractiveness. These women
were the most likely to have dysfunctional attitudes to
eating and weight to put an unhealthy emphasis on
appearance, be preoccupied with food and be
constantly restricting their intake.
