Melbourne is the same, just without the hail. I think I'll be working out in the office gym instead of the park again. I'll definitely watch the vid again beforehand though!0 -

This.
Are you saying that the women in all other videos are actually men, or robots?

I'm thinking she meant that it shows women actually sweating when they exercise. A lot of adds don't do that. Either that or... some women aren't real. They're figments of your imagination. I'm betting the first though.0 -

I believe she means women who look like real people who sweat and have jiggly fat and whose makeup smears as opposed to perfect, flawless models.0 -
What does it look like when fake women train?0

But none of them are lifting0

Oh these comments are horrible. Yes all women are real even the fitness models, we get it. OP is talking about these women being from the status quo, they're not models and they relate closer the majority of members on MFP than any Nike fitness model ever will.
People picking on the title of the post rather than appreciating the ingenuity of the video is just silly.0 -

This. Great ad showing 'real' life people exactly as they are without editing out the jiggly fat etc

you know models are real life people to- just a lot tinier- and probably more food issues. LOL

Semantics....
Certainly not models as depicted in magazines, photoshopped to the nth degree. But in context of the ad...they are endeavouring to encourage women to get out there play sport, exercise or just move more. Not likely to encourage their target audience with imagery of a perfect size 6 or 8 (not USA sizing) woman...with perfect hair, no sweat, perfect makeup.0
