@drokey And I bet so many of these women have built their baseline strength from lifting weights. Hypertrophy training might be boring but the science backs it up. And moving to a different form of exercise when you are used to exercising is different to starting from scratch.

@vman8r I'm definitely not getting 1.6g per kg, probably closer to 1g-1.2g per kg. But it's taken a bit of effort to get to this point too as I've always eaten mainly carbs so do have some tips! When I eat just vegetarian food (which is frequent though I'm not vegetarian) I do struggle with it...

@zhivago Oooo these are very cute and look like they're ethical too. Might add them to my list even if it means shipping from NZ...

@dawn16 To add to this, most women have cellulite and it's literally just the way that fat tends to sit on women's bodies due to blood circulation and oestrogen. I've seen super fit, athletic women with cellulite on their legs because well, most people have some fat on their bodies and it's...

@blt3030 What was the attitude towards doing these sports?

@ilovejesuschristourlord My frustration is not with you in particular it's more with the general use of the term because any individual might need to start on their knees and it's degrading to call them girl push ups!

@ilovejesuschristourlord Okay, first of all let's stop calling them 'girl push ups' - so many women can do a full push up from their toes despite it being anatomically more difficult for women to build arm strength than men. They're modified or assisted push ups. Now that I've got that out of...

@heartofberries UK and I think my experience of PE class is echoes what others from the UK have said. Was in high school between 2007-2013 and PE was mandatory for the first 5 years regardless of whether you chose PE as a subject for GCSE level (Year 10-11). In year 7 we did the bleep test...
