Media: Exercise and Fitness Are Racist Now
Also: RAZZZIST GAINZZZ
Time Magazine: Exercise is founded in white supremacy, you know.
BY OLIVIA B. WAXMAN
How did U.S. exercise trends go from reinforcing white supremacy to celebrating Richard Simmons? That evolution is explored in a new book by a historian of exercise, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, author of the book Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America's Exercise Obsession, out Jan. 2023. ...
Your book Fit Nation starts out by talking about how fat was something to aspire to and that was a sign of wealth and healthiness. How did Americans go from a mentality of "fat is good" to "skinny is better?" One of the things I set out to do in this book is to look at the change in how we think about our bodies and what's considered attractive. Until the 1920s or so, to be what would be considered today fat or bigger, was actually desirable and actually signified affluence--which is like the polar opposite of today, when so much of the obesity epidemic discourse is connected to socio-economic inequality and to be fat is often to be seen as to be poor. How did that happen? Well, in a moment when actually there wasn't a lot of access to caloric foods, to be fat showed that you could afford these things that were out of the reach of most people and also you could afford to rest, like you weren't out there doing manual labor all day. As that caloric food became more accessible, and as more people were doing sedentary white-collar work and had access to cars and leisure, somebody who could resist those caloric foods, exercise, and have a thin body, was seen as more desirable. What's the most surprising thing you learned in your research? It was super interesting reading the reflections of fitness enthusiasts in the early 20th century. They said we should get rid of corsets, corsets are an assault on women's form, and that women should be lifting weights and gaining strength. At first, you feel like this is so progressive. Then you keep reading, and they're saying white women should start building up their strength because we need more white babies. They're writing during an incredible amount of immigration, soon after enslaved people have been emancipated. This is totally part of a white supremacy project. So that was a real "holy crap" moment as a historian, where deep archival research really reveals the contradictions of this moment.
The article was widely jeered.
At about the same time, Scientific American decided to tweet out a fresh link to a 2020 article of theirs in which they claimed that the concept of obesity itself is "racist."
"Honestly, I want them to keep pumping articles like this out to eviscerate every remaining shred of their credibility and perceived legitimacy," British rapper Zuby tweeted. "It doesn't anger me at all. It's so goofy I consider it satire." Ed Latimore, a former heavyweight boxer, tweeted, "First math was a tool of white supremacy. Now it's exercise. Pretty soon, food is gonna be a tool to continue systemic racism oppression."
All of this "Healthy At Any Size" propaganda comes on the heels of a Fatfluencer who just proved that no, you're not "Healthy At Any Size," because she died of cardiac failure at the very young age of thirty-seven. At her heaviest, she had been over 800 pounds. She had lost weight and gotten down to 400, but living with so much strain on her heart and organ had take their toll. But Healthy At Any Size, you guys!
It turns out this was published in 2020, but Scientific American thought they'd tweet it out again. Sabrina Strings and Lindo Bacon explain that "prescribing weight loss to black women ignores barriers to their health."
Black women have also been identified as the subgroup with the highest body mass index (BMI) in the U.S., with four out of five classified as either "overweight" or "obese." Many doctors have claimed that Black women's "excess" weight is the main cause of their poor health outcomes, often without fully testing or diagnosing them. While there has been a massive public health campaign urging fat people to eat right, eat less and lose weight, Black women have been specifically targeted. This heightened concern about their weight is not new; it reflects the racist stigmatization of Black women's bodies. Nearly three centuries ago scientists studying race argued that African women were especially likely to reach dimensions that the typical European might scorn. The men of Africa were said to like their women robust, and the European press featured tales of cultural events loosely described as festivals intended to fatten African women to the desired, "unwieldy" size. Strings has also published a book entitled, "Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia," if you want to know more.
Jamie Lopez, the founder of a Las Vegas salon for plus-size women and a model for the "body positivity" movement, died last weekend at age 37. Lopez, according to TMZ on Monday, was hospitalized for heart complications. Her salon, Babydoll Beauty Couture, which became the center of a reality television show on WE tv, published a statement on Instagram announcing her death. "We ask, on behalf of the Babydoll family, that you allow us time to process this tremendous loss," the statement read. "Please keep our Babydoll family & team lifted in your hearts and prayers." Her show, "Super Sized Salon," which launched this summer, only lasted a single season before the main star's death. At her heaviest, Lopez weighed 846 pounds and designed her company while confined to bed. She lost 400 pounds to turn her dream into reality.More at Instapundit. Matt Walsh pointed out that it's only recently that women have begun eating themselves into gargantuan proportions based on this "Fat is Healthy" delusion. He predicts that Lopez will not be the last Fatfluencer dying before age 45. But no matter how many Healthy At Any Size women die young, the media will continue repeating: "Healthy At Any Size! Healthy At Any Size!" The media likes to pretend it's "pro-science," but when members of the leftist coalition begin making wildly anti-scientific claims -- such as leftwing obese women claiming that obesity has no linkage to disease -- the media not only refuses to rebut these false claims, but actively assists in spreading the false "science."
Might as well make this a GAINZZZ/New Years Resolution thread. I know one resolution for myself: I have to start stretching every day. I let my legs get so tight and cramped up that they pulled my back out of whack. How about you guys? GAINZZZ? REZZZOLUTIONZZZ?

I didn't know England had White Supremacists in the late Victorian Era when 'Muscular Christianity' started??
I'd even guess that 99% of Great Britain was white then so, "Well done, chaps. You won," I guess.

Everything is racist.
Therefore, nothing is.
Why do so many scholars/influencers want to inflict this BS on us?
Being overweight is unhealthy. Get over it and take the donut out of your mouth please.

Prime has an interesting Korean thriller streaming right now for free titled-
"Memoir of a Murderer"
The story concerns a retired serial killer who is suffering from dementia. He recognizes that his daughter's new boyfriend is a serial killer. Can he stop the serial killer before his dementia stops him?
Lots of twists. Good acting. Good directing. Ramps up the tension very effectively. Well worth a watch.
Check it out.

I had three weeks where I simply stopped all exercise. This was the trip to Atlanta, the cruise, and then the week at the in-laws. I'm back, and I'm going to get back into it.
I had my first feeling of muscle fatigue in forever just by doing my arm exercises on Tuesday. It's funny how when you get into it, the feeling of fatigue just doesn't appear with a regular, moderate schedule.
In terms of stretching, I do yoga about three times a week, and it's always only focused on my hamstrings. It really bothers me how tight my hamstrings are, and I just want to make a concerted effort to lengthen them so I can reach my toes without feeling like the back of my legs are going to explode.

Slowly getting back into a regular routine lifting weights, and running outside when the weather is nice. If it's not, or if it's too dark out, I hit the treadmill or stationary bike. The problem is mostly just getting my diet back under control. It's slowly happening, but I still struggle with the "hungry, or just bored" problem.
On the mental gainz side, I start my next semester in a week, which should be fun. Plus, stone carving class in a couple weeks. Since I'll be working from home more often, I need to get back into the habit of playing the violin a bit each day.

My sister gained about 75 pounds after she got covid. She blames all of her health problems now on long covid while making every excuse for her weight because body positivity is important no matter what.
I'm just her brother, so I just nod along.
But it's funny because both of her older brothers (myself and my older brother) work out regularly and have some levels of muscle definition. My older brother also got prime covid (he lives in NYC) in something like March of 2020, was laid out for 3 days and couldn't get up from bed, and he's as fit as ever.

I've started forcing myself to exercise for real three times a week. The treadmill is getting some of the traffic, which I hate. But I'm a total wimp when it comes to cold. I don't even want to go to the gym in the car. Brrr. Planks and an exercises gotta be done to avoid back pain. Did I mention I'm kind of a wimp?
Has anyone found a decent alternative to Spotify or are we all just going with them as a least bad option? I need a streaming service without ads for exercise. I don't mind interrupting a movie a bit for the ads, but I gotta have proper music to handle the treadmill without killing someone.

Earlier this week I was setting the alarm on my watch. While messing with that I found buried deep in the settings an option for DND mode. This whole time it had been toggled off. I knew what this was. I read Heavy Metal magazine. A lot. I looked within and checked my resolve, it was moderately steely. I stood up, readied myself, and toggled it to on.
Turns out, DND stands for Do Not Disturb and I did not get instantly beamed out of this universe into a deadly realm of arcane wonder where I was transformed into a strapping armored hero pitted against the incalculable legions of the undying horde.
What a gyp man ... anyway that's my GAINZ.

The training effect and Gainz don't dissipate after a short interval of a week and in fact, if you are blasting it for a long interval, a week off will only benefit you.
The trick is to get back to blasting.

browndog, I've found that the rest periods work better for some than for others. My husband is a workhorse body type that really needs daily physical activity, and my daughter loves volleyball. She had scheduling issues that prevented her normal pre-tournament workouts and I advised her to try resting up for it. She was completely off on her timing. My volleyball game was always upped massively with two days' rest. I guess she takes after my husband.

I lost 35 lbs. of muscle with my latest (4th) bout of lymphoma, but have slowly gained back 10-12 pounds. Lifting most days and steadily gaining strength back. Praising God that I’m in remission but also praying that it lasts longer this time.

Local town near me has expended huge amounts of money to create a separate sheltered area for walkers and bicycle riders to cross a bridge to a fantastic area to walk or ride. Today, two bike riders smack dab in the middle of traffic, avoiding the special area that taxpayers paid a fortune for.
I think for every dollar the government spends on bike and pedestrian paths 1/20th of one cent is used. Green Stamps are a better deal. At least you got a toaster every five years.

Meh, they're kinda right on the exercise thing: some of the early buzz for exercising came from the progressives, wanting to (again) pick up some Prussian things to make a healthy, organized society. Remember all those old movies and shorts with the shaking machines and such? Those came from the wellness movement, which was very progressive.

51 Wife is doing well after her "incident".
oh I hope she's ok
I had a little relapse just before the holidays which honestly scared me a bunch b/c I wanted that to be OVER. went to normal doc and got basically nowhere but followed instructions. had a miserable December and decided to break out the horse paste pills just to see.
feel GREAT today! only three days into 24 mg daily. I'll have to keep that stuff around forever I guess.
my new years thing is doing a sugar detox - related, hoping it also helps reduce inflammation and is preventative of another bout of sudden-onset-arthritis-with-rashes
sugar detox looks pretty daunting but I usually fast - it can't be worse and if I get so sick of eggs and nuts or something I can just fast

I got one of those little pedometers. No, not the expensive ones, just something to put in a pocket and count steps.
I know you're supposed to do 10,000 steps per day. Well, I don't know that, I just heard it. I do 5000 pretty consistently, which surprised me. I guess I wander around a lot. I still should up my game at some point. Not today, though, the weather sucks.

Two weeks ago I took the bull by the horns and did the cabbage diet. It says you can lose 10# in a week. I lost 8. They also said if anyone says they are starving on that diet “ they are crazy.” I’m here to tell you I felt starved. So instead of crunching my way thru the cabbage product I made I decided to blender it. It was much more appetizing. I have maintained 7 off. Next week I will do a modified green cleanse and start my exercising. It is one thing to change the way I eat but that alone will not give me the results I want/need. I found an elliptical to purchase. I need to lose 60 and I will accomplish my goal. I need to because I hurt. So that’s that. Happy New Year everyone 🎉

So my pre-Christmas weight was 207. I'm 6'2" so 207 doesn't sound like a lot. I should weigh around 180~190. So out come the cook books and online research to develop a better diet (apparently I'm a carb junkie). Gonna get creative with chicken, fish and veggies. Plus it's cheaper than buying new clothes. Good news is that the gym at my apartment is never crowded at 6am.

The problem is that we can't rationally talk about any of this. The truth is that it is typically harder for women to lose weight. It's a natural thing, to help carry pregnacies to term. But we can't talk about sexual differences. Maybe black women are more prone to weight gain. But that would mean talking about racial differences. That's not allowed. And both sexes tend to have problems losing weight as they age. That's due to the loss of muscle and lower hormone levels.

I am going to have to make some exercise adjustments in the new year.
Since I was diagnosed with the arthritic knee 10 weeks ago, it hadn't gotten any better. So I had an MRI and, not in any way surprising, a torn meniscus was revealed. The doc says that I might have had it for some time, maybe 45 years, but I must have done something to the leg recently as the end of the femur(?) has a crack now.

OK here's a not so happy cautionary tale.
My brother Joel had diabetes. As a result he had neuropathy, and commonly had stabbing pains in random parts of his body, like red-hot needles jammed into his feet, or legs, or back or ears, or whatever. So bad he cried out in pain -- and this is a man who ignored his inflamed appendix until it burst, so he can take the pain.'
He told us that he was doing great, blood sugar tests were fine, the medicine was maintaining his levels well.
Going through his stuff for paperwork I found a letter from his doctor earlier this year, expressing deep alarm that he was not managing his diet well and that they would need to take more drastic measures.
Yeah, this is the brother who died this month, my best friend and closest person on earth.
I guess what I am saying is TAKE THE HELL CARE OF YOURSELF because the people you leave behind will be horrified, crushed, and gutted trying to understand why and what they could have done better. Do it for them, if not for yourself. Please.

No. Putting cabbage in a blender does not make it "more appetizing." It turns it into green sludge.
You want it more appetizing, ferment it with various spices, and put it on good sausages (or all by itself). Make yourself sauerkraut, kimchi, and cole slaw by fermenting.

Ok. I'm gonna say it. I actually fantasize about eating everything and anything I want, all day long.
I fantasize about getting to the point where I simply don't care anymore about my weight, health, image and just say fuk it all I'm eating everything I like all the time, any time.
Then, I gain a few pounds, everything hurts, guilt from lack of exercise rolls over me, and I'm back to " whoa baby, dial it back before it's too late".
I sustained a concussion falling off a road bank while xc skiing two weeks ago and Im still affected.
All I can think of is eating and feeling guilty about it., because I can't move enough to counter the calories at the moment.
When will peace come in this battle? I'm sick of it.

I have two things to try this year. One is that a blogger I follow, gdonna, is doing a study on the early 1930s. So people will be trying to manage on a tight budget. The second is that I've decided to buy from the local grocery as much as possible. The big market is a 46 mile round trip and I spend too much there. The local market seems to cater to folks on a fixed income. (Except for brisket. Easiest place in the world to get a whole brisket). I'm going to eat simplier and start eating out of my pantry more.

Strength work 6 days a week - haven't missed a day in months. Even when i worked until 2 am and was back up at 8 (being 4 hours of actual sleep) i forced myself to do it. For my upper body, i now do 3-5 mins rest between sets on monday, 2:30 between sets on Wed., and 1:30 between on friday. Certainly can't do as many reps at 1:30 as with 3-5.
Been getting 25-60 minutes pedalling on the deskcycle, about 4x/week while watching a German period drama. I listen to the German and try to avoid the subtitles.

I finally braced myself to get on the scale this morning. I gained 15 pounds since mid-November. Too many Christmas cookies and doughnuts in the teacher's lounges and too many days without exercise. Since I worked hard to lose 60 pounds in 2020, I am determined not to gain it back. I tossed out my fat clothes and it would be too depressing to go back to shopping for 1X and 2X sizes. Back to the treadmill and salads.

The whole Dave Ramsey thing about envelopes and using cash would help that. It is honestly a simple enough idea that you don't need Dave. But ,along with planning, it keeps you on a tight budget and also forces you to shop local. It's simply how things were done.

When I wasn't into eating, after my first husband died, I would cook cabbage in a skillet with a little oil and put parmasean cheese on it when it was done. And I did lose a lot of weight.

The thing about 600lb life is that all these bed ridden 800 pounders need 10000 calories a day to stay that fat. Who the F is the enabler that is killing these people.

Those came from the wellness movement, which was very progressive.
Right, but the fact that the progressives, who were racists, advocated "x" does not mean that their advocacy of "x" in particular was motivated by racism. That's coincidental, like milk in the fridge and serial killing. Exercise isn't a plot to keep the black man down.You'll note they're on about fat black women, not black dudes lifting weights. Are black athletes being oppressed by the bench press?

When will peace come in this battle? I'm sick of it.
You are tougher than the hunger. You are stronger. Bear down and kick its ass, you can do it, I know you can because you have before. Every time that hunger comes up, crush it and move forward. The battle is what makes you stronger. Every time you win, you are able to beat it later with even more force. Never give up. Never stop fighting. Even when you stumble, get back up and stare that MF down.

One thing I have noticed working as an elementary school sub - either teachers are extremely fit or they are really obese. There are not many who fall in the middle. The fit ones pack their own lunches and tend to eat lunch in their classrooms. The obese ones are the ones who make the teacher's lounges a minefield of cookies, doughnuts, cake, etc.

In this case along with eugenics as a whole I would almost grant them their hysteria, it cannot be overstated how evil the progressives were to the core.
They viewed damn near everything as a struggle between races and they pretended that the races were damn near seperate species.
I have read extensively, none of this merits handing minorities a blank check and saying "you decide how much" but the progressive like a bad puppy needs his nose rammed through the shit on the rug I suppose.

One of the things I love most about men is how when we are striving to be better, we tend to back each other, cheer each other, and promote each other. Guys in the gym encouraging each other to do just one more rep. Guys giving the bro nod when they pass each other jogging.
Men are competitive, its true, but in a way that allows us to cheer each other on.

Time magazine is a joke, and has been for a long time. I used to subscribe, but about decades ago I gave up on them. They pestered me regularly to re-subscribe, offering progressively (SWIDT?) more and more generous terms, until finally they were basically giving it away (just to pump up their circulation numbers, presumably). No dice.
Scientific American USED to be great when I was a boy, but now it's neither scientific (as the featured article proves) nor American (having been bought by some Brits).
Shorter version: get woke, go broke.

I used to see-saw +/- 25 lbs for years. Got tired of feeling overweight and would stop eating carbs and in a year or so I would be down 25.
Stay there for a while and then start back up again. My doc kept a graph and said that was kinda weird.
Well when I hit my mid-60's I can't lose weight to save my life. Doc says my lack of hormones is responsible but won't provide me supplements because he thinks it's a bad idea.

Enter cancer. Three steps back. Recovery and back at it two years later.
Enter Covid. Hospitalized, on o2 three months. One year recovery.
Enter concussion. Two weeks down.
It just wears you down.

I am trying hard to correct that, since the last thing I want is to end up one of those little bent over ladies with a widow's hump. But it's really hard to remember.

- the credentialed class where results no longer matter.

I dumped all forms of sugar for lent last year. Alcohol, sweets, carbs.
Lost 10 pounds, slept better than ever, and eliminated all those osteoarthritis problems that ravage recreational athletes.
It was truly amazing how well I felt.
I can't seem to do that regimen without some spiritual impetus. Plan on doing it again come February.

Yeah its an exchange. That stuff might be great in the short term to salve cravings but later you pay and get into a rut where you can forget how good it feels to be out of it. I do it to myself, even though I know better and am allegedly old enough to have gained some wisdom.
There's a whole long list of crap I cannot eat without making myself absolutely miserable, but sometimes I do it anyway thinking "well just this once" then I pay for 4-5 days.

Every 29+ person should do deep squats. One of the first things that goes is your butt. Start just with squats. Then squats with a little kettlebell weight. At least once a day. Three reps you choose the number each.
Posted by: banana Dream at December 30, 2022 06:44 PM (4lZQh)
____________
Pro tip: be sure to do squats - especially with weights - by pushing your butt BACK, not your knees forward (very tough on the knees). Your knees should never go beyond the tips of your toes.

I don't know how wide spread it is, or if its all ages, but there's definitely an effect especially among younger women to be promoted, cheered, praised, pampered, and even worshipped on social media. Every picture is GORGEOUS QUEEN HOT SEXY OMG by guys who keep boosting their ego.
I mean you have your Instagram Account and 5000 guys are there panting after your every picture, its going to take more maturity and intellectual perspective than most girls are capable of to not start believing their own press.

My fantasy tends to be being able to smoke 2 packs a day without ruining my health. I quit smoking 10 years ago, have had a few lapses, and I still really miss it sometimes.

My dad quit smoking just cold turkey one day because he believed he should do so morally. Never another puff. But he had a pack of smokes in the garage, just one, in a drawer. He never went back to it but it was there just in case, you know?
He had nearly superhuman willpower though. I hoped by his age I'd be nearly the man he was when he died but so far I haven't measured up, years later.

Time could at least claim to be useful in the days prior to the internet and cable news when there was not a preponderance of general information about world goings-on available to the typical person, particularly if that person did not live in one of the major metropolitan newspapers' distribution range. But that had mostly gone by the wayside by the mid 90s, so it's about as real to me as Julius Caesar.

Not exactly Jay...
Olympic lifters have an high degree of dorsiflexion.
Even Powerlifters can exhibit a high degree off dorsiflexion.
The issue is knee "slide".
Once you begin your descent into the bottom of the squat, fix the knee position. If you let your knees drift forward at the bottom, you lose tightness in your posterior chain...and can develop tendonitis in your knees.
Knees over toes is not contra-indicated.

Enter climbing mountains on skis... just cannot do and smoke. Haven't touched them in forever.
Still dream about it. Just the whole ritual was a calming. Yuk. Such a nasty habit.

Meh, they're kinda right on the exercise thing: some of the early buzz for exercising came from the progressives, wanting to (again) pick up some Prussian things to make a healthy, organized society. Remember all those old movies and shorts with the shaking machines and such? Those came from the wellness movement, which was very progressive.

Nothing like mortality to pump the gas a little.
||I mostly really need to stretch, but would be best in morning I think which is hard to find time.

I do a little routine...I mean it's tiny, it's just five of the exercises from this page:

Takes about five minutes but every few days I put it off until it's the last thing I have to do in the day. And I sometimes kvetch about it.
But it's only five minutes and even if I'm doing it right before bed, it helps.

I'm sure. I played from Little League through college and subsequently in adult leagues, as a pitcher most of the time (until my throwing elbow packed up with bone chips). I have problems now with my landing leg, because I had a long stride and a drop and drive delivery. Doing ~200 lunges per game/practice (no pitch count then) off a 15" high mound onto the same leg will do that.

And that's why I said "kinda right". The "movement" has Progressivism all over it. But just being healthy is not racist (nor is defining it as such). Nor any other sort of Marxism. It's just noting that in a world where everyone is a king by 1066 standards, you gotta get off your butt if you want to eat anything other than brussel sprouts and kale, and actually be healthy.

143 OK here's a not so happy cautionary tale.
My brother Joel had diabetes. As a result he had neuropathy, and commonly had stabbing pains in random parts of his body, like red-hot needles jammed into his feet, or legs, or back or ears, or whatever. So bad he cried out in pain -- and this is a man who ignored his inflamed appendix until it burst, so he can take the pain.'
He told us that he was doing great, blood sugar tests were fine, the medicine was maintaining his levels well.
Going through his stuff for paperwork I found a letter from his doctor earlier this year, expressing deep alarm that he was not managing his diet well and that they would need to take more drastic measures.
Yeah, this is the brother who died this month, my best friend and closest person on earth.
I guess what I am saying is TAKE THE HELL CARE OF YOURSELF because the people you leave behind will be horrified, crushed, and gutted trying to understand why and what they could have done better. Do it for them, if not for yourself. Please.
