Youtube's top fitness guru, Cassey Ho, goes in on Honey Boo Boo and her family



Hey guys!

I am loving the new HIITilates series and looks like you are too!! I am excited for your enthusiasm as I build out this new format! I always knew you guys liked your cardio so I had to figure out a way to make it fun and exciting and excruciating without counting (boring) or timers (boring). The new moves challenge me just as much as they challenge you – so great job for keeping up!!!

I am between the Bay Area and Palm Springs the next couple days! This Sunday I will be teaching a group of young kids how to have fun while staying active at President Clinton’s Health Matters event. I don’t think I will get to see him though! Boo. But oh well, maybe one of these days I can meet Michelle Obama and work with her on educating our youth on nutrition and exercise. I honestly think that if we get em young and get em thinking about food the right way from the beginning, we can prevent obesity, hospital visits, and all types of illnesses. I GENUINELY believe that food is your medicine. Preventative medicine is the best kind you can be prescribed :)

OMG and speaking of kids and obesity and food and….

She's just concerned u guys!!!Collapse )

idg why everyone is so outraged, ontders are constantly commenting on how nasty and unhealthily the family eats, how they most likely have health problems, how fat they are.etc etc

I think it more so has to do with the tone of the article. She's coming off as this holier than thou know-it-all and it's nagl.
fancypiink 21st-Jan-2013 06:02 am (UTC)
so? ontders are the same.
mistyraven 18th-Jan-2013 12:50 am (UTC)
This whole article has a slight "holier than thou" tone. It's like, "oh my god, look at those poor fat people, I mean I know they can't help themselves but looooooook at how gross they are omg."

I think that's kind of my problem with how people talk about Honey Boo Boo/her family in general tbh. They're not a circus freakshow, sheesh

I want to marry this comment.

I know Cassey, not super well, but well enough to know that she's genuinely sweet and well-meaning. 'Judgmental' isn't a word I'd use to describe her.

When I read the blog post, I didn't particularly care for its tone either, but it read to me like she wrote it in one sitting on a gut reaction, as if she came home from the gym and wrote it.

She's not entirely wrong; the way that family eats is really unhealthy, and it's clearly having an effect on their bodies. To say that eating well is expensive, that's a ridiculous argument because these people are paid to be on TV, they can definitely afford food that isn't in a can or in some kind of instant form.

I don't disagree with her message necessarily, I disagree with the tone. She could have been more thoughtful about having a discussion about obesity and diet.

It was a nicely written piece. I don't see why there'd be any problems with what she said. She is right.

This family is going to live their life for however brief of a time they can and eat all the shit they want, but it doesn't make it any less sad.
dentellerouge 18th-Jan-2013 12:51 am (UTC)
she should do more squats or something because that's nagl
expectingmore 18th-Jan-2013 01:00 am (UTC)
Not that I disagree completely or anything, but the know-it-all attitude she displays here is annoying & not helping her cause at all.

I love her pilates videos but wished I could mute her sometimes. I read one blog post of hers a while back and knew we would not see eye to eye on a lot of things. So this? Not a surprise.
misspinkkate 18th-Jan-2013 01:00 am (UTC)
Should I do a Blogilates video tonight, clean my house, eat meatloaf or all three?
thishollywood 18th-Jan-2013 01:15 am (UTC)
Throw the meatloaf away and go vegan!!!!
misspinkkate 18th-Jan-2013 01:17 am (UTC)
I know, right? DOWN WITH MEATLOAF, MAKE A LOAF OUT OF BANANAS AND OATS!

Even though she seems to speak/write like "girl you wish you hadn't started a conversation with at a party," what she has to say isn't bad. This is one of the first times I've read an article where someone says they're concerned about a fat person's health and actually kinda believed them.
devourlove 18th-Jan-2013 01:12 am (UTC)
Cassey "health fanatic" Ho complaining about fat. Oh bettah listen now

thishollywood 18th-Jan-2013 01:17 am (UTC)

My ass and legs kill from the Brazilian Butt Lift workout. I want to try Piloxing.

bostongirl2003 18th-Jan-2013 01:33 am (UTC)
how do you find the BBL for cardio? I bought the dvd, lost it for 6 months and just found it again.
tucker 18th-Jan-2013 01:35 am (UTC)
do you watch the brazilian butt lift workout on youtube?? I found links for it once but they were dead :/

I really want to try it lol
milkradio 18th-Jan-2013 07:17 am (UTC)
I feel like that workout didn't do much for me at all :(
tucker 18th-Jan-2013 01:32 am (UTC)
her videos just don't inspire me because I only use youtube fitness for butt workouts and her butt is just so tiny and boring
famineaffair 18th-Jan-2013 01:35 am (UTC)
i have no idea what problem some people in this post have with being healthy...?
swissbeauty23 18th-Jan-2013 01:37 am (UTC)
idk. i think some people assume health advocates = fat wank
soho 18th-Jan-2013 01:43 am (UTC)
Calling someone out specifically and shaming them is the problem.
famineaffair 18th-Jan-2013 02:33 am (UTC)
i do think she went about it the wrong way, but i follow cassey and she really is a sweetheart. and i'm more talking about ontd commenters who sneer at healthy eating.
ohkkrista 18th-Jan-2013 02:07 pm (UTC)
why is it the problem? they put themselves out there. if that's a problem they need to toughen up.
williammiller 21st-Jan-2013 05:18 am (UTC)
They don't. It's the holier than thou, know-it-all attitude that comes across when you read what she wrote.
swissbeauty23 18th-Jan-2013 01:35 am (UTC)
ngl the nutrition aspect bothers me too. it's not about body image or weight loss, but eating healthy.

then again i don't know too much about the Boo Boo family.
