Or they could be taken to the local gym and forced to watch “uncoordinated morbidly obese” gyrating in leotards. Nothing like motivation to complete that last Km.

Which brings about a good point.

There are some things that are offensive to the public. Me flashing my manhood for instance. So how come the “uncoordinated morbidly obese” are allowed to wobble around in public places.

I have to tell you, IMHO my manhood looks a lot better than their bellies.

Default Re: Zumba and other fitness fads

I had considered doing zumba, but only in the privacy of my own home- and I'm not fat (54kg, 34.27.37" - ok I need a bit more in the bust department)

I swim once a week and go on the wii fit when I have time. Not quite toned, and also not quite fit. My excuse is that I have MS and am 50.

I applaud people of whatever size or shape that get off their butts and exercise. I don't find a group of "larger" people doing zumba offensive- I find it far more offensive to have obese people flop over their seat onto mine, whilst chowing down on a mega burger, fries and coke while I'm trying to watch a film.

If you can manage 30 mins a day then you will improve cardivascular health and mobility.

Fantastic!

I'm one of those uncoordinated morbidly obese of which you speak and the family have been pushing me to wobble around in a public place.

I'm happy that, thanks to you, I can just sit and stuff me face in peace, quiet and privacy.

I have to say though, I'd never have believed I look worse than some sad old man's sad old man.

I'm 5 feet 4 AND A HALF inches tall. Amazing how I can stretch my neck to gain the extra vital half inch.

But lacking the 3 extra inches on the bust is very sad.

Not at all. At least there isn’t the gravel rash problem when you go topless, and I prefer the A cup.

Nothing worse than two overstuffed sofas in the same room.

I once dated a Japanese J cup, but what do you do with them when the novelty wears off?

She was in her 20s, and gravity was already running amok. Her brassieres looked like something build by a Sunderland Shipyard.

Dinners were a nightmare. Waiters had to clear the table to avoid damage.
