Cosmopolitan Magazine Pitches Obesity To Women

[POB]

Print is dead even sports illustrated has avg looking or heavy women now in the flag ship swim suit issue to try to stay alive with fatties money

Hahaa - I thought I was the only one who did that. We're having our rear garden remodelled this year, and I'm replacing the old outbuildings with a new brick-built garage and space for a modest home gym.  So I've sketched different layouts so many times I've lost count.  About the only things that have remained constant are a chinning station like Tapeworm mentioned above, and a really nice Smith machine (because I am a h0mo  )

Right on, Taffy. If you're UK metro, I imagine land is tight. Just by way of wrecking your budget and marriage, don't forget you can go up & down as well if a basement or attic space will let you branch out.

Whatever you choose to populate your build with, I'm convinced that Myspace and Mytime is key. Of course, I'm an only child who never had a lifelong relationship, and am a selfish bastard by nature. But if you're into bodyweight work, a padded floor would be a welcome addition. It'll open the door to positions you fail out of like planche, rolling planks, bodyweight strap flies, etc, as well as yoga-ish endeavours, tumbling, etc. Makes the ground something you can actually use and not worry about busting your  nose on.

As for the original point of this thread about 'healthy' whales - surely it's not open to interpretation and self-certification?  There are metrics like resting HR, BP, lipids, etc. that define health - not how someone feels FFS!      Give them a brisk 5 on an inclined treadmill and see how beautiful they feel on the inside then (if they haven't passed out)

My Wife watches a programme called 'Fat Curvy Brides' (or something like that) - watching them burst into tears when they realise just how f**ked they look in the mirror never gets old!!  But they are never so upset they choose lose some f**king weight though

Funny you should say that, I did consider how important the floor was.  There's plenty of those cheap interlocking tiles around, but it would be nice to have something as close to a single piece as
 possible of the 12mm rubberised stuff on one side, then some of the harder stuff where I'd put a bench (or throw my dumbells down like Branch Warren LOL)

I'm lucky that my Wife is into training too, but she does more of the combat style cardio thing, so we might end up with some sort of dummy or bag - keep her away from my stuff

Howard - you need to watch an episode - I am only slightly exaggerating.  There almost always comes a point when they say "let's discuss corsetry"...

Fwiw I'm upgrading to ex-competition 40mm Fuji mats shortly (Fuck all use - covid). Apparently the techs from the well regarded Zebra mats are running it and the vinyl does stay affixed to the core and doesn't go sliding all around. You wouldn't lift on them but they'll do you for groundwork and even judo. Better than what I need but what the hell.

Roll out wresting mats are pretty big so have minimal joins but I can't say what they're like underfoot. They're way less dense than 2x1 tatami mats so possibly spongier but guys online seem to like them. I've read some reports of loosening surface. Hardly anyone loves their jigsaw foam but I could see price and no potential for loose surfacing as plusses. Toe hungry joints, difficulty cleaning, and poor feel are drawbacks.

  I saw 1000 lb Sisters the other day where they 2 land whales around to their doctor appointments to see if they could get approved of surgery for fat fuckers (gastric bypass).  The "small" sister was only like 400 lbs but her sister was over 600.  The 400 lb gargantuan ended up qualifying and having the surgery but her behemoth sister couldn't lose hardly any weight at all.

At the end of the show the still fat "small" sister and her goofy fat ass husband were excited that they could now try to have a child!  Like passing the shittiest genetics in the human population on to the next generation didn't even bother them.  They were seeing a fertility doctor who was encouraging them.  I almost got sick to my stomach.
