In the modern world, being called “thin” is a compliment, and getting called “fat” is a stigma. But contrary to this popular belief, being skinny does not equate to being fit. In fact, thin people who don’t exercise regularly are prone to having low fitness levels, low muscle tone and decreased endurance. Recently, news broke about big brand names beginning to ban size zero models, which created quite the hype.
We believes that the size of one’s body can’t measure their level of beauty or fitness. Thus, we bring you some inspiring souls who not only challenged the age-old belief that beauty lies in size, but that also promotes the idea of being healthy and fit as more important.
