Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fittest woman of all?
You may not get the answer you desire if you exercise in a gym where the walls are actually adorned with mirrors.

The McMaster University study also found women who didn't exercise with a mirror felt less physically exhausted after a workout, while those who did their workout in front of a mirror reported no change in their levels of exhaustion.
