The ESPN Body Issue 2014 is a great one that reinforces that there's no such thing as a perfect body type, since there is still a huge range in looks for those who are in peak physical condition. Depending on the activities these athletes engage in, sometimes this means that the models will have a heavier build, or one that is leaner and more petite, but equally powerful in its own way.
This annual special edition of the magazine is just one of the many ways to encourage a body positive message and teach everyone to love what they've got. Over the past year, companies like Aerie and Debenhams have made huge strides forward when it comes to issues like airbrushing, Photoshopping and representing a diverse range of beauty in campaigns.
