The Fat Kid Now a Gym Addict

He grew up a fat kid now a gym addict can’t play sport though no good at it thinks he’s worked hard while you had it natural when really he’s doing what you did when at school but it’s just the weights protein shakes and muscle relaxers for him not the competitive contact sport constantly injuring it’s just losing fat and building muscle up he's finished growing too so he's building pressure up causing problems that see life took in vain training to have a superficial look getting big without cardiovascular turning overweight fat to muscular the poor heart and lungs straining at a body to big to maintain as they don’t really adapt to the new muscles he trains a pressure on the respiratory system cannot remain he's got the heart and lungs of a fat kid building up muscle stack an obsessive habit cus the foundation is layered during puberty after which heart and lungs don't grow usually so forcing the heart too far when as huge as he fuelled by fat kid issues making it about how he appears he has a jealousy if you were healthy in your younger years and now he appears to be healthy but the heart’s saying help me it’ll hang on seemingly ok but when it goes wrong, that’s your life mate have a nice day. Being healthy starts young with the lungs and the heart if you’re older these two the most important parts build yourself up as strong as your heart is or be someone too young to have since departed

Incredibly astute observation. Well said, if kids start fat, they're forever on the back foot in terms of ongoing fitness. Superficiality sometimes seems the overarching motivation for the bulgiest buffest ones. Appears their muscles wouldn't recognise work in a real situation where grunt is required. Very well written description to tell all this and more.
