If you do not use muscles regularly the nerves that control them won’t fire intelligently and you will stumble around like a buffoon. I’ve certainly never met an obese person with precise body mechanics.
- lukeschlather 7y agoI know obese people who are really great dancers. In the social dance world heavier people are typically above-average or great dancers. This isn't to say obese people are better dancers in general - just that people are prejudiced against obese dancers, and anyone who can deal with that kind of prejudice has to be really good and motivated to keep showing up.
- xwdv 7y agoYes this is a survivorship bias I would say.

- Ididntdothis 7y agoFrom my experience when I was teaching yoga classes there were different kinds of obese people. Some were super flexible and very good at moving their large body around in a world that didn't accommodate them whereas others had zero body awareness, were stiff and could barely move. There are different reasons why somebody is of a certain body type. Some skinny people are anorexic, weak and have no understanding of their body. Others are skinny because they are super fit. Superficially they look the same but are actually totally different.
- astura 7y agoI had an obese yoga teacher. She was just as good at the moves as any other yoga teacher I've had. Was pretty surprising.
