how come you hardly see

[Anonymous]

Fat or overweight people running. Someone pointed out that you always see the in shape and skinny people running and never the ones that really need it. At least not more of them as there should be

I'm fat and can't freaking run. I walk and do the elliptical but running would probably kill me. I would like to start running after I drop some weight.

My DH is a little overweight. You'll never see him outside running. We own a treadmill. Hell you'll never see me run OUTSIDE either.

 If you're that overweight you shouldn't be running, it's bad for your knee and ankle joints!

I hardly see them out walking. I also live in a rich uppity community where looks are very important

Because running with serious weight is extremely dangerous. A fast walk has been proven to be less damaging to the joints and just as effective.... But then again I thought it was a common sense thing to know how bad it could be.

I see people of all shapes and sizes running.

But, I have heard overweight people talk about how they feel insecure running or exercising becuase they are obese or overweight. Maybe if people encouraged others more rather than making them feel bad we'd see it more often.

Maybe that's why you don't see them, as they live among snobby judgement.

I think because they're embarrassed

 They are embarrassed because they know people judge in one way or another
