Strong is still strong, skinny is still skinny

[St.Kristobal]

Synes dette var en ganske spot on artikkel. Mindre opphengt i idealer, mer opphengt i funksjon

When I first heard the saying “strong is the new skinny,” I was pretty excited. I was thrilled that we were finally going to start celebrating bodies, and particularly women’s bodies, for what they could do rather than how they matched up against whatever ideal they were supposed to look like. Appreciating physical feats of strength rather than purely aesthetics seemed like such a healthy, and long overdue, approach. I had visions of women admiring one another for how many chin-ups they could do, or how much they could squat, rather than what size jeans they could squeeze their skinny-fat butt into (oops…did I say that?!). And perhaps finally the capabilities of our bodies would rein supreme, and we’d all start exercising, resting, and fuelling appropriately to support our amazing bodies.

But how wrong I was.

Moralen er at man må være begge deler. Hvis ikke er man ikke verdt noe!
