strong is not new...
OVERALL RATING
Today someone told me I fit the 'Strong is Sexy' label.....why thank you!!! And you will get no debate on this end that I feel my best or 'sexiest' in these very moments(see video) doing what I love. However, Strong isn't something NEW, it's been around FOREVER. It's also is no more SEXIER to have muscle than it is to have none(remember the appeal of strong vs. skinny is simply a personal preference). In fact my opinion the whole perception that Strong is the NEW SKINNY simply replaces one beauty ideal with another, and this is no different than the perception I grew up believing where runway models over saturated the industry with their sunken in cheeks and over-exposed collar bones. In a sense STRONG is the new SKINNY/SEXY promotes a new image for women to now obsess over as they strive for rippled abs, perfect glutes and flawless arms. Side note: the girls on the magazines and your news feeds don't even look like the girls on the magazines and your news feeds. Some might argue that working towards a strong aesthetic is somehow healthier than working towards that of a thin physique. And this can hold truth depending on the methods used to obtain such an image. But then I would have to argue the same concerns just different methods also lie in those that are working towards looking strong. To me STRONG is not the new SKINNY, its not anything more SEXIER than its ever been, it doesn't make you SUPERIOR to those who simply choose not to like it. To me, itâs about getting rid of the aesthetic correlation completely. STRONG is about unleashing inner beasts, whether big or small and removing societal barriers that dictate just what STRONG, SEXY, SKINNY should entail. Its about inner growth as you maximize your potential as YOU see fit, without some magazine or gym meme telling you how to be/look/actâ¦.to me STRONG will always be what lies within whatever Skinny/Sexy/Shredded exterior it encompasses
