Another article writer wonders whether "buff" arms on women are not just an assault on the eyes but also on the notion of "femininity." The writer questions such assumptions.
With regard to Michelle Obama, her arms look fine, and she looks great sleeveless. Madonna's arms, however, look hideous and she should never run around sleeveless. Madonna has overexercised and has too little body fat to look like a normal female of a certain age.
This guy agrees with me:
The idea of how much muscle is too much is entirely subjective, and people often have a visceral reaction to what they do or don't like. In the Obama-Madonna equation, it's not surprising that few are in the Madonna camp, considering her well-defined build and low body fat, coupled with her age -- few 50-year-old women look like that.
Says personal trainer Ramona Braganza, a member of Gold's Gym Fitness Institute, "She's burning so many calories constantly and her metabolism's sky-high. I'm not being hard on how she looks, but sometimes it's nice to have a little body fat as you get older. It's just healthier looking, and people almost look younger when they do that."
I think Madonna has some of exercise addiction. I used to be that way to a degree, although I never looked freakish like her. And yes, I could use some upper body exercise, but I would NEVER look hideous like the pop singer.
Update: I uploaded a couple of pictures of the singer. Her arms wouldn't look good on a man, let alone a woman.
