![]() An acquaintance saw my IG page for the first time recently. . I was with her when she was scrolling through my feed, showing me my own pics, making comments (all complimentary) and asking questions. . But then the interrogation took a dire turn—cue the Perry Mason Music: “Lynda, what pills do you have to take to look this way?!” . She was serious. Seriously, serious. . Trust me, I know this person enough to know she does not have a bad bone in her body. She wasn’t being mean-spirited. (Though I can be a bit naïve, hum??) . In any case, people still assume fit, lean people—especially women-- take steroids. . People who aren’t into fitness do think there ARE pills we can pick up at the nearest gym. . No thanks—never. Why would I want to look like a thick-necked, buff dude with no boobs?! . Rhetorical question there!! . I’m not a saboteur. I’d never risk my health or my life by taking drugs. . I don’t get the appeal to ‘roids anyway. Lean is so much more appealing! . Back to my friend-- part of the reason for her question? Likely her age--- and mine—she’s in her early 60s and I’m 57. . Many don’t think people can be in good shape in their 50s and beyond. But I’m proof we can be---she said humbly. . So, do share below: Do you get this question? . BTW: Left quad—super flexed there---I’m not on ‘roids!! . Also, that’s now my Ohio State University Christmas tree—then Memorial Day…then…. . For much more on what I eat everyday and what exactly I do in the gym---go to Diet % Exercise Access and sign up. It’s only 5.99 per year.

That is very true. People who don;t work out all assume there is a pill you can take and presto!
