If you’re a muscular woman, go after mainstream exposure. Let’s take muscular women out of the bodybuilding subculture and put them in the mainstream.

Strong IS the new Skinny
12.6.10 I have been inspired by a new movement started by this blogpost and fueled by a facebook group called Strong is the new Skinny. What a great concept, for all women; young and old. I haven’t met another female friend who hasn’t struggled at some point in her life with body image issues. We are overwhelmed with images of thin beautiful models, actresses, and other celebrities.

CrossFit gives us images of strong muscular women. They are doing awesome feats of strength and endurance. What a great example to set for our children

Recently I heard the phrase, “Strong is the new skinny,” and it really resonated with me. Though the pressure of looking like the women on magazines and red carpets will probably always exist in our culture, it’s my hope that the collective focus can shift from dieting with the intent of being unrealistically skinny towards eating right with the intent of being healthy and strong. As a woman, and a mother of two young girls, that is certainly my hope for them.

Strong Is NOT the New Skinny
Jennifer Petrosino

So then here comes this phrase “strong is the new skinny.” For the many women who have struggled and failed to achieve the skinny ideal, it’s awesome. With this phrase, the ideal is to be strong, not skinny. Let’s be real—with basic training, everyone can be strong. Plus, to make it better, there isn’t any dieting involved. However, here’s my issue—why do we have to degrade skinny for strong to be OK?
