There's a lady who runs through Cambridge who has a fairly similar physique to that. I do circuits with a fella who must be 8 stone over weight.
Good luck to them all I say. Beats the millions of "normal" bodies that do bugger all exercise.
I'm a big girl and I probably look ridiculous in my "Fat Girl..." jersey and leggings on my road bike. I no longer care. I enjoy it and if people don't like it or laugh (which they have) that's up to them.
Good for that lady.
I disagree, I've been to many a gym were those not in the best of shape are seen as more of a nuisance or getting in the way and are mocked, although in general not to their face about poor form etc..
.
where I lived there are many women who seemed to have started jogging, I'd say mostly mid 30's to mid 40's, they range from slightly overweight to very overweight but as individuals not in a group and they jog passed my house, it been fascinating watching them improve week after week, I've no idea of their distances but their speed,form and confidence in running is getting better each week, one women started just walking a few months ago, now she got a nice pace going....if I'm honest I'm actually surprised at how many people are jogging where I live, it seems to have gained in popularity this last 12 months or so..
Most of the people who would take the p1ss don't do a tap of exercise, so they're bell ends who don't count!

It's really brave for someone who doesn't fit the norm to get togged up in form hugging kit and get on a bike or to to the gym etc.
The people who come to circuits who are out of shape will generally try to avoid eye contact, and I try to give them their space but also some acknowledgement . Some of them keep it up but some fall by the way side.
