You work out and have muscle based on your height and weight. Black women aren't 6'5", 254-lbs. Most are <=5'5" and 160+ lbs.
The leading causes of death for Black women are heart disease, stroke, and diabetes which are all linked to obesity.
How do we get Black women to start working out more?

You keep ignoring economic factors for whatever reason
This is a profound topic actually.
1. The majority of men these days don't require them to. A fat ass is all that matters, even if she look ugly in the face.
2. We've been conditioned to take the easy route. Surgery, waist trainers and all of that..
3. Access
4. The importance of a healthy life style isn't discussed enough in the community IMO.
5. A basic lack of discipline we all suffer from
It's really a lot of factors....

Nah, the coli is a just a microcosm of what guys talk about when they gather (apart from folks who're simps) and rather than being sensitive and labeling every observation/critique as something to bash black women - some of you need to soak it and adjust. Not every critique/observation is malicious. And this thread exempifies that
I don't think cacs who fetishize about smashing just any type of black woman care if you're out of shape or not, as long as your ass looks a tad fat. You sound butt hurt about the thread and that's clearly a pointer.
Anyway, that's me with less than 10% body fat on my profile picture and I never go over 10%. That's proper diet, good body metabolism, regular training, and genetics. And I've never been fat for a day in my life
I'm 5'8 & half & 145-150 lbs.& you are somehow trying to suggest my body is out of shape.GTFO.
On what planet is my body considered out,of,shape,obese,etc?Aint no rolls or cellulite over here.You're just a hater like every other man child on here.& I don't mess with these weirdo white boys that you talk about on the coli.The White boys I am attracted to workout and have nice bodies themselves.

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer
I 
the women getting their fitness on.
It's so sexy
the women getting their fitness on. It's so sexy
They dont believe in fitness. 
black men are just as overweight tbh.
No they are not
Are ya'll really gonna pretend like black women in general don't have a weight problem?Also I love these threads where OP makes an observation and everybody comes in the thread like "Nah I haven't experienced that, something must be wrong with you"

How do we know that when you've got a suit that looks like something hiding a waist trainer on? For all we know, there might be all kinds of cellulite hiding beneath what you've got on. And no, I'm not a hater - I'm just calling you out for throwing unnecessary wild shots over an observation that has no malicious intent. It just reeks of insecurity issues.
You mean the juiced up white boys who're permanently on steroids?
White boys don't have our genetics and they bytch about it all the time, hence they stay on juice on play catch up. Regardless, I doubt those are the type of cacs you attract.
The fact that BMI is calculating fat without measuring fat makes it a worthless statistic. A woman does not have to be 6'5 and 254 to carry muscle mass.
As I said in my earlier post, I am all for everyone working out and eating better for health, I just don't like erroneous statistics.
You did list some of the leading causes of death for Black women in the 20-44 age range, and to me that's a much better statistic to go off of.
But my point was when someone uses BMI to tell you that 60+% of people are overweight... that means absolutely nothing.
I think the hair thing holds some of them back.
What hairstyle can Sistren wear that is totally impervious to sweat, pool water, rain, and showers?
Maybe the straight up afro.

Its more blacks and Hispanics that are obese...but remember its America and there are plenty of fat white folks out here...PLENTY.
Blacks as a whole (not just women) need to be more concerned about achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight. The processed food we eat along with certain foods with lots of fat, calories, and sodium is detrimental to our health. Shyt like ramen noodles, processed foods and soul food aren't the best thing to eat and should be eaten sparingly. Then we need more physical activity and to do it 3-4 times a week at least.
As far as black women, the obesity is somewhat higher among them and Hispanic women versus cac women. Some of it is due to poverty and low income, and some maybe due to lack of concern for healthy eating and exercise because black men are known to like thick women. Some mistake thick with obese and morbidly obese. Cac men (well some not all) will leave or cheat on their women if they gain weight. Some cac men like those slim bodies, flatter more narrow azzes, and no cellulite. I do see some young black women who are built like they had 3+ kids and they don't have any. But I see this with women of all races.
Some women also think weight lifting will make them bulky and manly looking...which it wont if they lift small weights. It helps for them to tone up. But women need to do cardio because some women...depending on her natural built...can easily gain weight around the thighs and hips and they should get on the treadmill and elliptical and stair master to work and tone that booty. Us fellas need cardio too because
can and will hit us very easily as we age.

As a black woman, yes it is a problem. We we're discussing this recently on a black women hair forum but people got defensive. I think much of it is complacency and no social pressure to be fit. Fat ass black women have no trouble scooping men. And not just black men but non black men are also very accepting of overweight and even obese black women. Society has gotten used to it and puts more pressure on white women than us. Over all other than simply giving a fukk about your health there's no outside motivator for black women to lose weight. I watch my weight because I want to look a certain way. But other overweight black women my age seem to just not care. They envy my weight but take no steps or no serious commitment to lose weight. It seems health danger is the only point that snaps BW out of it and makes them lose weight, but by that point they are already 60+ lbs overweight. And the illness may be permanent. And it always has to be a serious illness too that snaps us out of it. I wish more of my sistas cared about themselves.
