Muscular Men and Women

When we were looking through the magazines and watching the videos on the body building men and women, I could not help but think how weird it is to want to look like that. The general consensus of the class appeared to be that they thought it was pretty disgusting that people do look like that and no one seemed to find it attractive. Everyone seemed to think that it was okay for people to be muscular and toned, but not ripped with bulging veins.

I would have to agree with everyone in the class. What would make you want to look like that? When in high school, I absolutely hated having to lift weights. I hated the fatigue I felt every day after being done with the practice and knowing that it was just going to be the same feeling I would feel the next day. Almost every single person on every team I ever played on felt the same way as me and I think that is why I just cannot understand why these people would want to look like this.

I understand that some people actually do enjoy weight lifting and I do not think it is wrong to want to do so. Some people like to do it as a hobby. The problem is when does it become an obsession? I feel like it is unnecessary to look the way the lady in the video today did. I do not think that is how a man should look, let alone a woman. It just does not seem right.

I got a general idea of what the class thinks, but what were some more feelings you all had about these people. They can do whatever they want with their body, but is it an obsession or just something they really want to look like?
