What’s your opinion on magazines using clinically obese models in their fitness section?

More of a debate question. Saw a post where self magazine and a few others are promoting ‘workouts with only 4 moves’ using clinically obese models to promote fitness.

Well what’s your honest opinion on that?

[TommyMountainFigure]

To me that doesn't promote fitness. it isn't healthy for people who are clinically obese to even attempt a fitness regime without first getting medical advice from their doctor.. Putting excessive strain on the heart can cause heart attacks or strokes!

Did they suggest that in the magazine?

[TommyMountainFigure]

Thank you for picking my answer!

Models to attract the customers that they want... skinny girls exercising does Not impress Big Girls... they cannot relate to the Image...

Logically magazines are going to use whatever it takes to sell their product

[muscularbumblebee]

But do you think they should be doing this to do so?

[In_Trance]

Sure I don't see why not

[Guy__]

As long as it works. And anything that doesn't actually work shouldn't be sold.

[Fireguy17]

If they could do a before and after that would be good.

Don't really care because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be reading those magazine's anyhow. It's their magazine, their profit and loss, their choice.

[Shy_Steve]
