This isn't to cast judgement upon those who do aerobic exercise as there are many health benefits as well. Only to say that a well rounded exercise routine will always be superior in terms of health and longevity.

I'm a runner and a (relatively new) CrossFitter. <br /><br />I have a 'friend' on facebook who used to chastise me about my marathon training, how I was wrecking my body, and that I needed to start lifting weights as part of my healthy lifestyle. And he posted the exact pic of the skinny Finn & black British sprinter guy. <br /><br />After another friends urging, I looked into CrossFit. And I love it. Love it just as much as I love to run. You'd think my 'friend' that urged me to start lifting weights would be ecstatic. Nope. Now CrossFit is whack, teaches improper technique, a far-cry from being useful, blah blah blah. It drives me a little batty, trying to figure out how I can win. (Not that it's a competition, or that I have to 'win' anything with this 'friend'. But it's frustrating when he consistently bashes the 2 things that I love to do (run & crossfit). <br /><br />I find it somewhat ironic that the original image of the sprinter is of an athlete who was caught using steroids and was stripped of his Olympic medal. <br /><br />and just for reference, I'd like to have a body somewhere in between the sprinter and skinny Finn. ;)ash & dizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445501515825965107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762797438051684168.post-30297636434980586182012-03-16T17:42:31.909-06:002012-03-16T17:42:31.909-06:00If you would've known what the original was tr...If you would've known what the original was truly about then you wouldn't have been so quick to judge yourself! It was not posted to take a hit on skinny Finns, it was posted to show that there are many different body types and to embrace what body type you were blessed with. Such a harsh article for knowing such little facts about why it was posted in the first place. Maybe next time find out what and why the picture was posted before going to the next extreme.
