This girl is my hero
*FP Edit* Thanks for the love fam. If you see this and have some stuff going on in your life and no one to talk to, send me a message and we can talk. Cheers
BlueBorough
Great form but jumping off a box is a good way to rupture the achilles tendon, especially at that weight. Also not the best for her knees.
breakingbad5
What a good way to fuck up your knees
poopisfunny
Goodbye cartilage
noptic
Some big ladies are amazingly fit. Knew a plus sized lifeguard. Had some buns of steel.
NullPointThrown
Good energy but she could really fuck upp her knees that way
Shemptheotherstooge
Wow! Amazing! I couldn't do tha to save my life.
JethroBodine66
My knees are killing me just watching this. It’s great that she can do this, doesn’t mean she should. Ouch
scottypoo
Those knees tho!
Columcille
And that table is my hero.
SuchofuTheSexy
Good on her, but that's gotta be hell on her joints.
zanderclause
That girl gettin it.
ParadigmShiftingWithoutAClutch
All the people worried about her, she’s obviously not new to this, this is not someone just starting out.
SirDistic
She is not a hero. There's nothing heroic about this. I'm absolutely happy for her improving her life. Great for her.
WorkingOnArrival
I'm exhausted just from watching this.
SadCannibalNoises
I weigh at least 5 pounds less and I wouldn't even attempt it.
fhatpotatou
I probably weigh half of her weight and I agree
EllisTomago
Pretty sure that's Olympic lifter Holly Mangold
FiveShiftOne
Every time a hefty woman working out makes it to the FP everyone suddenly gets a medical degree with a joint specialization.
TZO2k15
People underestimate the fact that a lot of muscle can indeed reside under fat, there are "fat" people with great cardiovascular systems!
jayhawker33
Ooof good for her getting at it but there are some terrible forms in there
Sagromus
Not good for the knees!!! Should first loose some weight by cardio, much better for body!
scree06
I am half her size and I can't even do that. She should be proud.
eschiii
RIP joints

HumphreyDumfrey
AH WHY IS SHE LANDING WITH LOCKED LEGS HER POOR KNEES
Monkeyfighter
She would probably lose her balance if she tried to bounce properly with bent knees.
GoniMaster
Likely because her quads to not have the strength or eccentric control to manage a proper landing.
MangyDogUK
yeah burpy onto a box must land with bent knees D: but still, great to see her trying i really am putting on weight since hurting my back :(
Gzzzzzz
...I think its just to prove shes able to do it.
Xen300
Poor knees? Imagine her poor heart.
LanaDelReyy
Why
Monkeyfighter
Larger people tend to have more heart muscle strain as well, so over exertion can lead to greater problems with larger people.
LanaDelReyy
That’s interesting. I get why swimming was suggested then.
Monkeyfighter
There is a known correlation between body weight and heart problems. Also similarly with rapid weight loss and heart problems.
LanaDelReyy
Oh sheeet
errorexe3
If shes accomplishing that at her weight she has the muscle strength of a Spartan.
Naturally90
Imagine how ripped she is under the fat
NiskanensBureaucrats
No! This is horrible! Bike! Swim! Walk and keep a strict diet for a while! This will kill your joints, and you'll need a cane from age 40.

Have you ever lost a significant amount of weight?
LoadinScreen
1. 'significant' is a subjective term. Might be 20 lbs to one person and 100 to someone else. 2. Yes. Lol
wingnut98
She's not trying to lose weight. She's an Olympic weight lifter.
[deleted]

wingnut98
She's not working out doing this everyday. She's just showing she can do it for the video.
mcsammymc
I think that is Holley Mangold, she was on the U.S. woman's powerlifting team if I recall correctly. Sister of N.Y. Jets center Nick Mangold
underlyattachedbf
Yea that changes everything about this
Nigbac
***Weightlifting team. Powerlifting is not an olympic sport, weightlifting is. Powerlifting is who can squat, bench press, deadlift the 1/2
mcsammymc
Thanks for clarification. Weightlifting, not Powerlifting, powerlifting is not in the Olympics. I'm so stupid....stupid...stupid.
Nigbac
2/2 most, weightlifting is who can clean & jerk, and snatch the most.
BraveBraveSirRobin
Honestly, she looks too small to be Holley. Holley is over 400lbs now
NarfButterslut
She's also over 4000lbs
Nigbac
What
Jantwan
her overall lift totals?
Nigbac
No one has ever totalled over 4000lbs in powerlifting. No one has ever totalled even close to 3000lbs. Much less a woman. Also, the 1/2
QuiGonChuck
She needs to start with cardio, not this. Her weight is killing her joints doing this
AlmightyDylon
She's an Olympic super heavy lifter. Shes that big on purpose

Got to get beneath 200 lbs for your knees to not take damage from this.

My trainer, who helped me drop 50 lbs in 5 months, would also say you're wrong.
NiskanensBureaucrats
I try to say that every time I see someone this obese running/jumping. It's going to kill your joints. Maybe not today, but give it 10 years

Ableist. Next time post a trigger warning! (Just kidding, but you would get attacked if this was a millennial FB group). They’re cunts.
Monkeyspunk68th
She's doing great. Stop telling her what she can't do. You fucken cunts
QuiGonChuck
Woah calm down!
FlamboyantTitans
This is old as fuck and I believe she's either a powerlifter or an olympic weightlifter.
Jillymaree76
What she needs is to put the fork down. 80%+ of weight loss is diet. Drop 50 pounds through diet and THEN start slowly introducing activity
wingnut98
She did. This isn't the first day she's ever exercised.
Jillymaree76
She needs to continue to do so until she's lost a ton more weight.
demosthenes89
Wouldn't it be just as bad for a stacked 240lb dude? She's not like... huuuuge.
atgreat
Men have stronger joints.
GlowGreen
Definitely. But you don't just become ripped, you need to know how to exercise properly. This exercise works for thin but not super fit.
soithascometothiswasalreadytaken
She is huge, shes literally not build for carrying so much weight
wingnut98
She's an Olympic athlete. Her weight is on purpose as a weightlifter.
soithascometothiswasalreadytaken
Basic weight lifting is better for weight loss. Cardio isnt that great.
Caphalor
Dunno why you got down voted cause you're right. Cardio is great for burning fat. Might mean the same to most people but there's a differenc
PharmaKarma
It bothers me that "cardio" just means running and/or weight loss-driven exercise to many people, as opposed to cardiovascular health-driven
ladymondegreen
Cardio is important for cardiovascular health, though, and shouldn't be neglected. Both should be included in an exercise regimen.
One1word
Depending on the condition. Heavy resistance training has been shown to have adequate cardio respiratory effect for the untrained.
One1word
This lady probably would get a ton of respiratory adaptation from loaded compound movements before any sustained cardio is needed.
observationalist
Not eating too much is the bestest for weight loss though
soithascometothiswasalreadytaken
99% of losing weight is eatimg a caloric deficit, true. But weight lifting helps a lot.
ThanosWasNotWrong
Yea that shit looks awful for her knees
xavias
Both the jump and the landing on the box look fine as she's cushioning the landing. Coming off the box though... Oof.
caiuscassius
If you think this isn't cardio, you need to try it. Also, watch her form. Her lower back is not compromised at all. She's fine.
whiskeytangofoxtrot1
No extension when on the box is poor form
FelixxArgyle
It's not her back that's going to get hurt, it's her knees. Anyone will get knee injuries jumping off a box like that. You step off the box
xavias
Only if they land like she did. If you cushion the landing and are of proper weight jumping off a box shouldn't be a huge deal
Caphalor
But this isn't cardio. Cardio is low intensity for long periods. This is high intensity for shorter periods.
caiuscassius
Anything that raises your heart rate past a certain point for more than 90 seconds is cardio.
Caphalor
Yeah you're right. I didn't know hiit was classified under cardio. My bad
IBringGoodTiddiesAndRear
Cardio is a word or term that I don't think you know...
Caphalor
Holy shit, you're correct. Didn't know hiit was classified under cardio. My bad

LoadinScreen
Excuses are always plentiful for those that like to use them. Diet is more important. Goodluck an goodbye.
Monkeyfighter
You're thinking distance. Calories burnt isn't about time, it is about distance. If you run 1 mile vs walking 1 mile, the calories burned...
RideTheStimutacs
Swim, bike, or row.
HandsomeJackBlack
A lady on Secret Eaters was training for a marathon &running all the time& she's all "why am I still fat?" Welp bc she came home & binged
ILoveWings
Yup this was totally my problem. Lowered my caloric intake to ~1400 a day, lost 10 lbs in 1.5 months.
thefwank
As a former fattie with bad feet, I can attest to how good an elliptical for this stuff. Basically no impact with all the cardio benefits.
TheRicM
Do you think the calorie counter on those things is accurate? It’s always way more than treadmill calorie counts. Is that right?
thefwank
I honestly never paid attention, sorry. The only numbers I really cared to watch were time and distance.
TheRicM
Ah, ok thanks
UnbreakableDNice
How do you know that she hasn’t already changed her diet? Results can take a long time.
Mothstradamus
Dropped 30lb in 5mo, looked exactly the same because muscle had filled in what was burned off. They take a long time indeed.
Mothstradamus
For the reply that was removed, I am heavier, I've been heavier all my life, and I want to be healthier. I've been working on it for 4 years
Mothstradamus
I know the struggle. 30lb was a fuckton for me, and it was right when I started. Kudos given to all just trying their hardest.
LoadinScreen
She may have, but regardless, diet is more important than exercise for losing weight. (1)
LoadinScreen
Exercising also slows weight loss, body holds more water, and muscle building. It's not good or bad, just fact.
TheRicM
Yup, should treat your fuel like you’re and athlete, not starving yourself
[deleted]

GetFrontOrDieTryin
That girl is a hero indeed. But I fear that her knees are not thankful for this exercise. Train hard, but dont overdo it!
relsky
The benefits gained from exercise far, far outweigh the risk of injury. Knee replacement < heart transplant.
mrread55
Her back and knees will likely suffer. Hope she loses the weight safely in the end though.
qaaaaa
Yeah, she should be in the pool, because water exercise is lower impact and easier on joints.
Leithoa
Swimming doesn't decrease your appetite like running, walking, cycling do. Cycling or rowing would be better.
HappyJello
Swimming is like the best for everything
waitwasthatreal
Thinking this isn't a person just getting into working out, she's does decent push-up, and with that weight, guessing she is a powerlifter
TigerThong
doesn't seem like a weight appropriate exercise
TheInfamousPenguin
Ride a bike, Dont run. If your that big that is, Much easier on your knees
Nexus763
Also, if you're overweight, swim, don't jump or run !
zornslemon
Fuck you. She's doin the damn thing. What do you do?
VicciFuzzbutt
I think you're missing the point. As a heavy person I can confirm, jumping up on and down from a box is literally really bad for her knees.
IThurtswhenIP6
So if she was skinny she wouldn't be a hero?
swoman1023
I think u know the answer to that question...There's NO WAY a skinny girl exercising would be called a hero. Just wouldn't happen.
cyberghduck
Yes. The point of box jump is to be kind on knees on the landing. Kind of pointless if you jump down again
VikingInOz
imo box jumping for cardio is just wreckless and promotes poor jumping mechanics
FelixxArgyle
Jump onto the box, step off of the box, your knees will thank you. (also, why I hate crossfit. speed is emphasized over form and technique)
Leithoa
Not at a good gym. Lots of places focus on form as well.
MaxMinutiae
Was about to say the same thing. Hope she doesn’t develop joint problems.
ILikeJumping
Based on her form, she seems to have a great foundation of strength in both her muscles and tendons/ligaments. I'm not concerned! U go girl!
joesii
It seems like she's going to injure herself to the point of being unable to do most exercise. CONSIDER LOW IMPACT PLEASE!
jjm152
I'm a total gym junkie and would never let someone do this at that weight. It's horrible for their body.
365daysofwine
Just curious.. At what weight is it okay to do?
jjm152
Probably when they are within 20-30% body fat. This woman looks closer to 60%. It'd be safer to do LISS (low intensity stead state) cardio
quintusfontane
Yup. I lost quite a lot of weight, and now my knees are semi-fucked (Even more than they were when they were carrying my fat(ter) arse).
quintusfontane
Do the gentle, repetitive cardio and such until you've lost the bulk of your, uh, bulk. THEN go for it. Fat fuel can melt steel knees.
PenicilliumCamemberti
"Fat fuel can melt steel knees." is the best thing I read all day. Thanks!
quintusfontane
PanicAtTheCostco
Yeah holy shit even my knees can barely take that shit and I'm 5'8 160lbs
JamesTarrou
My first thought was those impacts aren't doing any favours on her legs.
DaveWesh
First thought as well, hiit can achieve some fantastic results but it kills joints quickly.
Deficek
I can sign that ????
Leithoa
This is plyo. Hiit doesn't need to involve high impact exercises. It could be stair climbing or brisk walking.
BigAZNMan
She could always do HIIT on rower and bike/ spinner. Sleds and kb swing are great too.
thelonepig
HIIT can be done on a bike or elliptical. It just means go hard then back off, repeat till you are dead.
BlackberryCobbler
I was doing hiit classes but re-injured my knee. My fault, I didnt modify where I could have..
ReIigionOfPeace
A hero? Her overeating got her into the mess to begin with. Why lower the bar for "hero" like that. I scratched my ass! I'm a hero!
LanceSackless
Shes gaining fat to turn into muscle in order to lift massive weights competitively. She did this on purpose for strength
IThurtswhenIP6
I agree, it's commendable she is trying but you won't win this argument because fat people get a pass and im sure most are fat in the room
IThurtswhenIP6
Haha let the barrage of dvotes begin.. Such fkn twats in here
bizon1829
Same. I would figure out a low impact cardio workout (biking, swimming, etc) to get the weight down, then go to this. Still, awesome to see.
dmax12
Even ropes (Not jump), tire. but presumably HR would be an issue, so I would go to something where you can monitor it.
SirSnickleFritz
Cycling is actually fairly high impact on the knees. Especially if your seating position is off. Not as bad as this, but still
ocegur
In that case it would be balanced by most of her weight being supported by the saddle rather than her knees.
aelfer
Yeah, no. If your knees hurt while cycling, you got bad knees.
Lionskull
you know what's no impact? weightlifting.
Stinkdog
Until you drop a weight on yourself. Bam high impact
Jerf89
She's definitely crushing it but don't you think calling her a hero is a bit of exaggeration?
TurtleOnTheRocks
A hero is someone you strive to be like and she's doing that by pushing through her notable weaknesses to better herself
kazimooniboy
Well maybe the wind beneath my wings then
ReIigionOfPeace
I remember the tale of old, of the hero that jumped up and down from a table. An epic hero among the likes of Heracles!
AdrianDunne
The elders tell of a young ball much like you. He bounced 3m in the air, then he bounced 1.8 in the air, then he bounced 4m in the air.
LanceSackless
When you see how much she can lift from purposefully bulking up and turning it to muscle, will you be amazed then?
Jerf89
I never said its not impressive, I said calling her a hero is a bit of an exaggeration
Mobiusloop
Shin splints anyone?
EnPointe
Just looked this up. Is it like extreme pain or more like it's burning? Cause I thought it was normal but now I'm nervous :0
KhajiitHasWaresIfYouHaveUpvotes
I got them in both legs from running when i was 21. Still avoid running 2 years later
indrabar
yeah i'm about to ease back into running after shin splints for 6 months. To say I am nervous would be an understatement.
