“People with thigh sizes below 24 in (or 60 cm), even after other factors like smoking and high cholesterol  were taken into account, showed higher levels of heart disease. It is thought that narrow thighs could be associated with too little muscle mass and this may help doctors identify at-risk patients.”

Luckily i have 25.5″ thighs. But i wonder which healthy woman will have 24″ thighs or bigger? Probably none. Something to ponder over…

Mel B Abs

Another post on abs? I might as well change the blog name to Ablog. But this one is indeed interesting.

How should the perfect female look like?

I believe different people have different interpretations thus you have anorexic models all the way to monstrous female bodybuilders.

Then you have the athletic female look that almost everyone is working towards. But when is the line being crossed? Is there a minimal amount of bodyfat needed to be present to confirm femininity?

More specifically, will you want to look like former Spice Girl Mel B?
