Women’s health is complex and multifaceted, encompassing physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Women have historically prioritized others’ needs over their own, particularly when it comes to health and fitness. The roles of caregiver, mother, and nurturer have often led women to self-sacrifice, placing family, work, and community responsibilities above their own well-being. This pattern can result in ignoring personal health, leading to burnout, stress, and physical ailments.
Women often deprioritize their fitness routines, viewing exercise as a luxury rather than a necessity. Mothers, in particular, may struggle with guilt, feeling that time spent on self-care is selfish or takes away from their family. This mindset can result in long inactivity, negatively affecting their physical and mental well-being.
Women neglecting their fitness impacts every aspect of their health—muscle loss, joint pain, reduced cardiovascular health, and a weakened immune system. Mentally, the effects can include anxiety, depression, and a sense of disconnection from their bodies. The emotional toll of constant caregiving without nurturing oneself can erode self-esteem and resilience.
