The background doesn't disturb me greatly but the track that intrudes behind the exercising woman is more of a distraction. I'd be inclined to muddy up to background to further kill any contrast there and make it almost completely unobtrusive, and presuming that this is a B&W conversion of a full colour file you could play with the channel mix to get more tonal variation between the sand and the woman's pants.
