What about fat golfers? Just askin’ ... like Time Herron, for example. Been around for a while and still very competitive. 5’ 10” 250, as I see here. How does he do it?

All I know is vegetarians look ill and those bike riders in their spandex suits look funny.

IF they are basing “fat” on the awful and inaccurate BMI index, then they could indeed be incorrect.

The general grudgingly acknowledged fact by the med community is that people who exercise, overweight or not, are generally healthier than people that do not exercise but are not overweight.

Maybe they should look at other DNA clues like haplotype.
The Koisan, who used to be the most populous group on earth, carry the steatopygia gene (big butts/big thighs) and they are healthy.

What did the study say about Hillary Clinton’s status?

Fat with Fits?

My ex was very active and athletic. Ate right too. Smoked.

She weighed about 200 at 5’6”. Healthy as a horse.

Fat doesn’t always mean unhealthy. Most of the time, sure. But some people are just built that way.

She played 3 different sports, had something going on all throughout the year. Never lost a pound.

I think health is an individual variable that does not depend on weight. But then, I’m fat.

If the fat don’t fit, you must acquit!

I know "obesity" is a problem, but I'm leery of the new standards.
I get checked at work twice a year (courtesy of our Health Insurer), and at 5'9" and 185 lbs I am considered "overweight and borderline obese".

I'm not a work-out maniac, but neither am I out-of-shape - so the real meaning of "obese" is pretty clouded.

“Fat but fit”?

Why, yes, yes there IS. It’s called BMI.

It’s in ‘use’ in every doc. office, h’care screening, etc. I’ve been in/through.

Though, when you have Jordan in his prime in the same league as Rosy, you have a flawed system/scale.

I am a 66 yr old physical therapist. I created Mobility Max 10 minute home exercise system. It is a set of 20 therapeutic and functional exercises, each performed for 30 seconds, using a height adjustable door frame mounted exercise bar.

The exercises systematically position our joints at the end of range of motion, stretching the joint capsule and stimulating the flow of synovial fluid that lubricates our joints.

The exercises also engage muscles in a 30 second sustained contraction. This causes all the muscle fibers to wake up and stay ready for action.

This system is so effective, it has allowed me to get stronger and more mobile even as I approach 70. But I do it everyday for 10 minutes.

Over weight individuals will greatly benefit from this holistic approach to exercise. By lubricating joints and energizing muscles we begin the process of strengthening our chassis, getting back on the road and moving. It feels great and we start burning more calories because we feel like being active.

I welcome all comments. The video below is a test. I am building a website and will be formally introducing Mobility Max in the fall.

I work with a guy who appears obese but competes constantly and competitively in iron man races. That takes a tremendous amount of physical strength and endurance, but he's built like Bluto in animal house. That being said he could probably rip arms out of sockets if he put his mind to it, although he usually just seems to cheerful it's not likely something that would happen.

Perhaps "no dessert left behind" is the key to happiness?

Is There Such a Thing as "Fat but Fit"?

Fat people seem to think so; although I think that in 99% of the cases, this is an excuse -- a rationalization -- for the lack of discipline to lose weight.
