Skinny Does Not Equal Fit

During my class on Tuesday I looked around the room and realized the skinniest people in the room were having the hardest time. They were taking more breaks, they were not doing all the reps, they were clearly more winded than I was. It made me happy for a couple reasons...

First, it means I have definitely made fitness gains over the past 6 months. I have much greater strength and endurance.

Also, it shook up the notion that skinny equals fit. There are plenty of naturally skinny people who are not fit out there. Remember that the next time you see an overweight person and think they are lazy, maybe they are incredibly fit and just have a really hard time with food.
