Skinny is Out. Stong is In.

Ladies, skinny is out. Strong is in. The days of idealizing the pencil-thin waifs on runways or magazines are gone. They’re not healthy, functionally fit, or good looking. Train to be strong and fit and aesthetics will follow. Form follows function. Check out these performances from some of the women who train at Athletic Lab. Great work ladies!
