Healthy is the New Skinny

[redqueen]

I love this.

I have always been big into fitness, but I loathe most 'fitness' magazines, adorned as they are with the typical Miss Representations we're all so familiar with.

1. I'm new to fitness, and to healthy for that matter

decades of thyroid imbalance left me too exhausted after 10 minutes of workout to continue, so I'd give up. With the hormone imbalance corrected, I'm trying to undo years of bad diet/smoking/sedentary damage. It's slow, but it's working.

Thank you for the link.

2. Good luck!

It helps to find something you enjoy. If I was to recommend any one thing (unasked I know, sorry), it'd be yoga. Especially if you can get to a class taught by Steve Ross. I used to *love* his show called Inhale, but it's been cancelled now.

3. It's on my To Do list

one of my girlfriends does yoga and loves it. I'm trying to build up a little coordination and balance before I try it.

4. Oh I wish you could see that show.

They had huge linebacker-looking guys in the classes, struggling to do the moves. It made me feel great about my skill level as a beginner.

His fans have been begging for DVDs for years. Maybe someday...

7. I think the main message is:

**** 'skinny'... healthy and chubby is beautiful, cause it's the healthy that matters to thinking people, and superficial people suck ***. IMHO
