Have you ever seen children look like this?

But if the kids are that way because of extreme fitness, and they see a doctor regularly who is monitoring their progress, then that's all that matters and what other people think shouldn't matter to the parents.
I agree, looks off.

My kids were like that. They were always athletic and never tried for abs.

Her legs are probably muscular too. And arms. I’m always amazed at their leg. Gymnastics is all about strength.

Not overly so, at least not when she was really little... It was ALL abs.

That's why they say abs are made in the kitchen. Children are supposed to have a slightly higher body fat percentage that adults, or even teenagers. The extra body fat not only protects against disease, it helps the brain develop properly. So, I do find it concerning.

That said, my kids were underweight for a while. I was shocked when the pedi told us it may be a problem because they were also very healthy, active, and muscular. But they outgrew it.

Do you all remember that other little kid that was a body builder? Let's just say he isn't a body builder any more.
If you look at other photos of the children, you only see their muscles when they are flexed. It looks like they have a healthy ratio of body fat.
I watched the video and I would disagree. They don't look like they are starving, they still look healthy, but it does seem like an unnaturally low amount of body fat compared to muscle.

Sigh. Again. I am posting to stir up conversation. I made a post. That is what this website is for. You add NOTHING to any post but bitterness and hatred. Why are you even on here? You hate everything about this site apparently.
Not everything. Just the obvious trolls desperately seeking attention
Not everyone is a troll. Get over yourself.

And how is this post even a troll post?? I posted an article from a magazine. There is nothing trolly about it.

So I came across a video she posted in response to this and realized why it looks photoshopped. Especially the girls abs are weird. Typically you see lines that meet in the middle of the stomach and hers are at odd angles and not symmetrical. What's with that?

To her everything is either a troll post or someone desperately seeking attention. Probably why you've never seen her make a post. She's too self conscious that people will think about her the same way she thinks about everyone else.

No. And it's not healthy for young children to lift weights in order to get washboard abs. Being healthy does not equal being "ripped." From her comments I'd say she is a special diet freak who is mistreating her kids because of her lame ideas about food and exercise.
