As they say... beauty's only skin deep.

I'm calling time out on these types of responses. Just because a woman has a body that you find attractive does NOT mean that she should have to do or be compelled to do anything of this nature. She is an autonomous individual who should be treated with admiration and respect.

To continue, because a woman is strong and may yell as part of her motivation to push her clients as hard as possible, that is no reason to demean her by using sexist slurs. I doubt you would have made the same comment about a male military drill instructor using the same motivational techniques.

While my intent is not to attack those that make these posts, it is my intent to counter the underlying messages that were conveyed. Having studied interpersonal violence I firmly believe that it is important to stand up when women are not respected and to make it clear that honoring and respecting each other is one way we can stop violence.

That said, I think it will be nice to have another option that may be more geared to fitness enthusiasts or something that my wife and I may step up to after exhausting wii fit.

I understand what you are saying for sure, but just to be clear all I said was that she has a great body, and that was all as far as that comment, secondly people are who they are. Being in the military myself I would ABSOLUTLY say that a drill sarent was an a-hole, because I have...not to their face mind you, because I would have ended up in a bad way.

Clearly (if you watch the show) you can see how her attitude is so different from Bobs, and he does the same way. The same is said for drill sargents to, I had some that were tough, but not ball busters like other.

At any rate, I think that this could be a great title if done right and if/when I get a Wii Fit, I would take a good look at this title.

To the first reply, my apologies for taking your words somewhat out of context. I appreciate the clarification and acknowledgment of the sentiment.

To the respondent:
I'm sorry that you feel the need to dehumanize another person. Hopefully one day you will come to understand empathy and respect. That violence never equals strength.

The message for the rest of the readers:
You can make a difference in helping to end violence and abuse. It can start by teaching boys what it is to be a real man. The meaning of honor and respect. And what is and is not an acceptable way to interact with others.
