Fam, it doesn't work like that. It's not about your weight per se.
It's about your %BF (Body Fat).

Gym guys tend to have high BMI but they look great.
Muscle are heavier than fat.

She looks thick because she eats junk food.

@papsoshea 'sup, my soul mate.
this guys knows whats up....when you put on some muscles you don't need to justify your health by BMI

They're asking how heavy dumbell i lift?

well it depends on the exercise,

Incline bench : 30kg x 9/10

Shoulder press : 36kg x 7 (max, usually 36 x 5, my gym doesnt have 32,5/35, it straight jumped from 30 to 36)

Dumbell bench press : never done it, i feel it to dangerous for me.

Concentration curl : 22.5kg x 7 (usual training 17.5kg x 10)

Ha! That was fun. Not the best comedy but it's ok and the fanservice so far seems quite tame. Maybe I'll learn something new from this and get some motivation to at least do morning exercises as well.

She's 160cm in height, she's not necessarily heavy but just as she looks like, a bit plump. And it's typical for teenage girls to exaggerate these things especially when she has much slimmer sexy role models in her mind.

I loved this ep. Was hyped for the anime as a girl who lifts. The form of each exercise was spot on and loved the calorie count for the food its pretty clever imo.

Hope this trend continues. *-*

Surprised that this is actually full length....figured it would be a 5 minute short given what the anime is about

Gyaru girl is pretty cute, the animators seem to be having fun with it, I'll keep watching I guess. I do fear that this show will get repetitive and boring really fast.

As a Personal Trainer myself I can safely say that the information given in this anime is 100% accurate. I love how Hibiki was still eating like bullshit even after going to the gym...it's basically real life!

Fact: You can eat whatever you want however to burn the fat and or build muscle, you'd have to do basically 3-4 hour workouts a day.

This show seems like it will be highly educational in multiple ways ;)

I am fully expecting a JoJo tie in near the end of this. Jeezuz those muscles were disgustingly huge. I am a fit guy but that is just way to much. I don't want to have to walk sideways to go into a room. ECHT!.
Pretty good first ep though though.. It's a reminder for us to stay fit and healthy.

Had mixed feelings going into this, didn't expect the comedy to kick in so well, and them Amamiya Sora moans just kept me going...
Really helps sit through the explanation while having Akemi fanservice poses included.
Overall I'm probably gonna stick around, I kinda like Hibiki's thiccness tho, but it seems she wants to go for them skinny styles.

As weird as the show is, the weirdest thing about it (at least for me) is how it became a full course 24min anime. With a premise like this it should've been destined to be a 12min one max.
Well good for the fans of the manga version (if such people on MAL exist) at least.

The show itself seems "okay" at the very best. Informative at times.
I'll give it a few more episodes.

Totally agree! And I'm surprised no one beside you mention that part; or the no boyfriend if you are slightly plump.

I have no problem with fit girl doing sport but I hate the way they give such bad image of a perfectly healthy weight.

Yes, you are right, weight is not the problem.

The problem in the anime is that Hibiki is not shown to be really at 35% body fat. She is drawn to look around 26-30% bf which is perfectly fine; this is why she doesn't look fat at all. She can maintain 55.4kg lose 5kg fat and gain 5kg muscle and be around 26% bf. If Hibiki's goal is the beach bod she had in the OP, then she really has to lose weight to go down to 16-20% bf.

I haven't done leg day this week, I kinda want to go to the gym now lol.

The comedy is good and the fanservice is nothing disturbingly absurd (I mean of course there is nice bodies on the gym, that's the point). Machio san looks absurd and I find that hilarious, and the ojou-sama girl is waifu.

But I fall in love with the other tan girl that I think is a boxer. Goddamn, those abs are beautiful.

A strange topic for a series, and frankly o no interest at all. the cult of body building is a bizare fad that moved into main stream yuppiedome in the Western countries esp the US of A, and sadly is now appearing in Japan. Both for the subject and the shallow treatment of the story, and art work, this is a not for me.

"I'm going on a diet!" - next thing she's eating... :D

Didn't really look like she needed a diet yet, though. But nothing wrong with how she wants to look like either.

Recognizing the narrator with almost the exact style from Sabagebu! only makes it better. :D

Diet, eh... Eating even on the way to gym. And in the gym... And after... Yeah, training hard may be the only way for her to do this, there's no way she can keep a diet for more than five minutes.

Well ... what can I say about this anime, it goes hand in hand with the summer season, boys and girls want to be in shape and this anime is undoubtedly an aid to learn to exercise and with a fanservice for all tastes.

The female characters took my attention, Hibiki represents me with her voracious appetite and then i regret my gluttonous behavior, just like her. I also loved her design, brunette with that cute little fang coming out every time we got a close up on her face is so cute.
Akemi is the beautiful girl who is from a wealthy family and has a strange side, in this case she has a fetish for the muscles (I thought it was for muscular men, but apparently only the muscles)
And the male character that stands out was Machio, who is the coach of the girls and who seems a nice guy and very quiet, but when he became serious, he revealed his strong body, I think I could not stop laughing, especially for Hibiki's dialogue while we are seeing how the image of her ideal man was destroyed.

The part were Machio explains the routines had me dead with laughter, Hibiki every time she spoke made me laugh with her dialogues, added to the fanservice granted by the beautiful Akemi.

As for anime in general I have nothing to complain about, first of all this anime was done by Doga Kobo, studio that always gives us cute girls doing fun things and in this case the fanservice was the best, I liked how Mashio explained the benefits of the routines and we watched Akemi modeling her elegant and beautiful body.
OP and ED have a really catchy beat, the rest of the soundtrack was quite similar to what Doga Kobo usually has and is nice to hear.
The post-credit section was my favorite, reviewing the routines that were seen in the episode and then showing the correct way to do them motivates you to do them.
Now it only remains to know the rest of the girls who will join the exercise routines in the gym, although indirectly we already met two, it only remains to know them better in future episodes, although Hibiki and her friend are already my favorites (Hibiki's friend remind a lot to Umiko from New Game!).

I can see the femnazis getting their boxers in a twist about this because it's about an overweight girl getting fit.

The SJW nation would rather people die prematurely from fat related disease than someone hurt their feelings and tell them to shape up.

It sorted of reminded of Grand Blue with the ridiculous bodies but I liked the way they took the piss out of the gym rats, unfortunately the the losers who complain about it cannot see that.

I refuse to go to that site but know her, that is exactly my point. She watches load of anime and list anything she could take offence at. A modern day Mary Whitehouse who was an old woman who would watch porn all the time just to complain about it.

I remember another femnazi on the BBC site reviewing Girls Und Panzers, you might think they would have loved girls building, maintaining and operating tanks but no, she just mentioned that the skirts were too short! Even though it's realistic.

This. The problem is that americans always put themselfs in the center of everything. They are not the target audience for anime yet they act as if they are and take everything seriously and personally. Additional they believe they have some kind of higher moral authority and are on the mission to fix the world. I guess that happens when you have a big fat country. Their hypocrisy and arrogance is overwhelming.

As for anime, I like it. Everything that triggers sjws gets +1 point from me.

well, I didn't expect the animation and character to be very good. and because of watching this I became masturbating and watching p*rn

looking forward to this anime. because in the future I will masturbate again while looking at the female character exercising.

and the story isn't bad either, the story is very simple.


and also the main character is very exotic. and I don't like it if the main character is white because it's boring especially for anime like this.
it seems that mangaka really understands sports, and makes the main character of the woman very exotic looking.
