we need to be sensitive to students with disabilities and those who feel insecure, unfit, or uncomfortable about exercise. Different students have different needs, and it is wrong and counterproductive to engage in body shaming or fitness shaming. Unfit students, however, aren’t best served by not being helped to exercise, because the benefits are substantial for everyone, especially those who are the least fit. The challenge is to support and assist everyone at every level nonjudgmentally and in ways and degrees they find acceptable and rewarding.
