How is it that some people bodies seem to look fit and they never workout what so ever? I know a couple ladies that have full on abs and muscular looking legs that never attend the gym? If thats genetics god bless them

    they have better genetics and eat a more appropriate calorie total fhan people who don't

    Also don't discount sex as exercise in some cases...

    Doesn't always mean they are fit on the inside

    good genetics? depends how you look at it. If the overweight person and the superfit 10% body fat person were stuck on a desert island, the overweight person would be the one to survive longer (unless there were lots of wild cats and bears that needed running away from).

    having a low metabolism means your body is basically more fuel efficient!

    That's from a lack of kegel exercises.

    Different people have different metabolisms, so fat might burn at a rate of 1lb/wk, not even every week for me, while you may notice an alarming >2 lb/wk loss, although we obey the same rules. As for muscle development, same deal. As a previous post mentioned, daily activities are just as good for you as deliberately working out. HTH!

    This is it.
    Genetics are easy to blame and while they do play a role, it's not as large as many people like to think.
