That just isn't true. I work out regularly but would still consider myself to have a dad bod. I am 5' 10" and 164 lbs, with a decent amount of muscle, but still have some belly fat and love handles. I have been slimmer, but it took a lot of effort and getting even close to a six pack resulted in me having no energy some days, and the cost outweighed the benefits. Not sure if my wife found me more or less physically attractive, but she feels much more comfortable with me having a more normal body and more normal eating habits.
They serve pizza on Mondays and look down on people for working out
I do. I love mom bod. I prefer it over a tight athletic body by far.
Oh they will.
Diet is infinitely more important to weight loss than exercise. As long as you eat well and do the most basic of activity (walking, taking stairs), you can stay in shape
Their tagline is literally "it's not a gym, it's Planet Fitness". Simply being huge doesn't mean you're a douche. It's just that it intimidates some people so PF decided to target a different market. Which is totally cool. But let's call a spade a spade.
I don't approve of either. Different strokes for different folks. It seems like increasingly there's acceptance for fat body types in men and women.
So having a six pack/being in shape = being an asshole? Sounds like the classic "good guy" routine.
Not fat fat. We're not talking morbidly obese here. Just not completely ripped. So yeah, different strokes for different folks. But nobody here seems to be glorifying obesity or anything like that.
not really. i care a lot. i try to hit the gym after a 10-11 hour workday. after coming home and playing with the kids, doing house chores, feeding them and putting them to bed. but by 9PM, i am too fucking exhausted to do any kind of proper workout. so i do the bare minimum and come home at 10. i now have 2 hours to watch tv, play games and eat dinner before starting over.
The fact that you would equate someone having a dad bod with "apathy towards health", means you should probably start thinking a little more about life than JUST physical health.
There's been far more movement towards body positivity for women and the acceptance of 'plus size' models and whatever else.
What? Loads of folks like their women thick and do celebrate it.
Jesus Christ this thread.
I wouldn't say it's even "applauding" it, like so what if some people find it attractive? I feel like your attitude kind of shames people who like that kind of body.
Wow
This isn't fair—I'm a PF member. On the whole, it's clean gyms with nice equipment. I just wish they did more to pander toward lifestyle change.
Ok that is not subtle enough, It's too obvious. Pull back next time you purposely try and antagonize people.
We have a loooooong way to go for sure. I don't get how it's hard to just not shame people and celebrate happiness and diversity.
