The Checkup: Women’s Health Bans Phrase “Bikini Body” From Future Covers
• The phrase “bikini body” is everywhere when it comes to promoting fitness and weight loss (we’ve totally been guilty of dropping it in a few posts over the years), but as Emmaus-based magazine Women’s Health recently stated in a blog post, the ubiquitous phrase is an “unintentional insult” and implies that you have to be a certain size to don a two-piece. Rude. Not to mention, readers don’t like seeing it on covers — so they’ve announced that the phrase is gone from their covers forever. Hear, hear. [Women’s Health]
