“Unfortunately with individuals with eating disorders, it’s been viewed as negative and its been viewed potentially as the cause of the eating disorder which is not necessarily the case. We know that exercise results in improvements of body image, self-esteem; for example body composition which are all major risk factors of eating disorders.” (:16)

“Exercise for almost all people is going to result in positive benefits, both physical and psychological. The problem occurs when people exercise to an extreme like any behavior you do…you can’t do too much of it.” (:15)
