Being a person of size, there are many stereotypes that are forced on us. Too many negative stereotypes to mention, to be honest. For years women have been on the front lines fighting against the stereotypes for people of size. But one stereotype that doesn’t seem to fade is that people of size don’t work out. There is such a thing as plus size fitness goals.
I don’t have a six-pack, ripped muscles and I don’t plan on having them. My goal is to be the healthiest that I can be at my size. I feel that should be the goal for all of us. The reality of it is that being healthy doesn’t have a particular size. Because a person is of size doesn’t mean that they are unhealthy. I am 6’1 324 pounds and I am clearly not an “average” sized man.
Some people are actually in disbelief that because I am of a certain weight that I can perform some exercises. And no, because a person is small doesn’t mean that are healthy. We all have different body goals and aspirations, but make sure that you begin by taking small sure steps to reach your fitness goals.
I am not the only individual of size that is working towards some health goals. Men and women that we know are doing some amazing things. In this post, we will highlight some men and women of size who are incredible athletes. I hope that by seeing these awesome athletes they will inspire us to keep us moving forward towards our plus size fitness goals or inspire some of us to make some goals.
