@bdccarpenter: Replying to @shelbs having a six pack is not fitness. Once again, I am tagged in a video where too many people feel comfortable insulting someone based on their body fat percentage. What @Sporty Beth CrossFit said isn’t even controversial. *Being* fit and *looking* fit are not the same thing. Many powerlifters and olympic lifters have high body fat percentages, but their sport requires them to lift X amount of weight. That is their sport. Many martial artists are not very muscular and can also have high body fat percentages, but they would decimate bodybuilders with no fight experience. Obviously, this is not to say that NOBODY who practices bodybuilding isn’t also fit. You can absolutely do both. It’s just worth keeping in mind that chasing aesthetics and chasing fitness are not always the same thing. And, I am frankly very sick of seeing really good people being insulted on their fitness videos just because they don’t look a certain way. Because if actual athletes get insulted for the way they look when they exercise, should we be surprised that so many regular people find gyms intimidating environments to be in? I propose not. P.S. my best-selling book, ‘Everything Fat Loss’ is currently on sale at Barnes and Noble, Apple, Kobo, Google, and at Amazon with an extra 29% off in Canada. Feel free to grab it before the price goes up (Iink in profile). #sixpack #sixpackabs #fit #FitTok #gym #GymTok #Fitness #health #aesthetics #workout #fatloss #weightloss #fatlosstips #weightlosstips #calorie #calories #caloriedeficit #crossfit #bodybuilding #foryou #fyp #fypシ
