They're so damn lazy. Fats are so fucking lazy, like honestly.  I went to my twice weekly barre class tonight. It's usually a small class, never been more than 4 students in the class with one instructor. It's a lot of fun, the instructor is nice and will work your butt off if you show you want it or can take it. The studio provides everything you need, mats, weight balls, elastic resistance bands, the whole shebang. I love this place.  So today it was just me, the instructor, and one other student. While not the largest of hams ever to alter the earths axis, she was definitely well into the small fat range. So anyway, I take my favorite place at the bar, she on the opposite end, and the instructor kinda popping around a bit so we can see her at all times. Now, I like to challenge myself even in body weight exercises, so a higher half toe, deeper squats, higher kicks, stronger/heavier bands, that kinda thing. This ham... barely bent her legs with each squat. Bicep curls with the weighted balls were just mindless flopping about. Elastic bands were barely even stretched to resistance with each kick or extension. Lunges were barely wider/longer than a walking stride, straight legged. Each movement past the fourth rep or so had her huffing and puffing and straining to finish. If there was any sort of easier modification to a move, you bet your sweet muscular ass she was doing it. She would just stand there, legs bowing out from under her from years of excess weight bearing down on them, and do the barest minimum of work possible. And I'm sweating, straining against the heaviest bands I can take, plie squats to the floor, stretching as far as I can go, you know, WORKING for my workout. Any time something would get even remotely difficult she'd pull it back, take a break, do the easiest modification, just... ham it up.  Like, if that's all the effort you're going to put in to a workout class, why even go? Why pay money for a class you're wasting time in? Why waste the instructors time if you're not even gonna work hard, push yourself, give it your all, make it worth HER time? I feel like she wasted MY time because if the instructor didn't have to accommodate everything for for the lazy ham's benefit, I know she'd have pushed me harder because she knows I can take it. Silver lining in all this though is I'm sure I triggered the ham at least a little just by my mere existence and ability to keep up with the instructor. And you know, being human sized.
