So, Um, Stock Photographers Seem to Have No Idea How Fitness Works, and Here's the Proof

Here's the thing about stock photos: nine times out of 10, they're ridiculous. And we realize that it's difficult to look cute while working up a sweat, but when it comes to stock photos depicting exercise, "ridiculous" is taken to a whole new level. From models grinning from ear to ear while lifting dumbbells to women joyously eating salads (seriously, have you ever actually seen a woman laughing while eating salad?), fitness stock photos are an absolute treasure. We've rounded up the best of the best, and we guarantee you'll get an ab workout just looking at them.
