Well I avoid exercise so much that I have been avoiding even reading this thread.

Unlike crazy_grrl, exercise is in my dictionary, but it is a very bad word - you know like those other bad words such as work....

If you have been brave enough to look at my thread in self portraits, you know I am not fit. That doesn't mean that just because a person is fat, they are not fit. I have been fat from a very young age and was put on my first diet at age four. Yet, I have always been limber. That is thanks to my genetics. I inherited my body type which included the limberness, from my grandmother. I am also fairly strong, thanks to those same genes. I have been more aerobically fit at other times in my life, and even though I may not have always been able to keep up with the thinner folks. Although I always thought that if they were carrying a backpack filled so that we were carrying equal weight on our frames, I would out perform them. How would those of you who are fit, fair if you were carrying an additional 200 lbs (90 kg) around with you all day everyday?

However, you are correct. It does effect what BDSM activities I can participate in and my endurance in some activities is limited. I doubt I will ever exerience suspension. Although I have seen a picture of a very large woman suspended in a fishnet. However, I can hold position for a long time. For instance I can sit in front of the computer for long hours with out any problems.

As with everything else you take what you have and your work with it. Even fit people have limitations, bad backs, knee problems ....
