Prisoners are among the most fit people in the world, despite an absence of good machines, good diet, coaches, and instructional material.
If you want to be fit, start exercising--a nice way to get started is to truly understand that any kind of exercise is very much better than doing nothing.
- ryanfitz 16y agoI have read on various weight lifting forums that at least some prisoners smuggle in steroids, protein powders/bars and also steal extra food when they can. This would certainly lead them to getting into great shape if all they do is workout and get the needed supplements. Also, I don't know about you, but I don't personally know anyone in jail, so other than perception that guys in jail are huge, I'm not really sure its true.

- mkramlich 16y agoThey also have incredible incentive to get in shape, and a ton of free time to kill, and tend to have problems with aggression. That adds up. And your own personal muscle mass and melee fighting capability is pretty much the only weapon the prison allows you to have.
- ohyes 16y agoI agree with you if we area talking about Hollywood movie prisoners. If you truly want to get fit, commit a felony.
- Groxx 16y agoTheir diets are better than what my schools (any of them) served for lunch. Seriously. If that's all people ate, our prison population would be half what it is now, it'd simply kill at least half of them off within a few years.
