I chose these videos as my mentor texts because they go along with the concept of health, both mental and physical, and how going to the gym can only positively effect that. In addition to that, I feel like media has developed a particular stereotype for "gym people" and the appearance that goes along with it. In reality, that could not be more incorrect. These interviews prove that because not one person was abnormally in-shape, good-looking, or perfect in any way. They are just normal people all there to ultimately improve either mental or physical health.
