I just had to share this with you. It makes me so upset to hear, I just cant believe it. I overheard some say that a person who walked by was healthy BECAUSE they were “skinny”.
First off, I don’t know if I told you before, but I despise the word skinny, but that’s a whole other Oprah episode. I want to go on record saying that just because someone is thinner than someone else DOES NOT make someone healthy.
As a matter of fact I did a little impromptu boot camp in my housing community a while back and there was a woman who was quite thin outside of a bit of belly fat (she just had a baby). During the 25 warm-up jumping jacks she had to catch her breath twice, she could not do more than 4 skull crushers with 5-pound dumbbells and pushups, fuggetaboutit!!
All I kept thinking was “how is she holding her 15-20 pound baby, if she can’t lift 10 lbs of perfectly contoured and symmetrical dumbbells?” BTW I had a client (50 year old) at 260lbs that could run a mile in under 10 minutes.
Health is more than just having a small waisteline!
Have you ever thought that, what do you think? Answer here or on facebook.
