Washington Sport Club and Michelle Obama



Michelle Obama who has amazing tone, especially in her arms, has to give some of the credit to the Washington Sport Club. Clearly a great work out program with the assistant of a trainer from a washington sport club has given her the much talked about biceps. Some men may not like a woman who clearly demonstrates physical strength in such an obvious way. The time of our culture being stuck with stereotypes of women being petite and small with little strength was left in the twentieth century. No longer will places like a washington sport club weight lifting room be thought of as a place for men and the women should stick to cardio work outs and their dance classes. Now is the time for women to find equal access to all of the equipment and programs offered by the washington sport club to fully develop all of their physical abilities.
There are often conversations and debates and about the physical strength limitations of women and their inability to perform as firefighers, lumberjacks, or other very demanding jobs. Some of that maybe due to the different skeletal structure of women's bodies as compared to men. However some of the differences must be attributed to the way our culture limited women's access to places like the washington sport club and looked condescendingly at women who worked to develop an obvious display of muscle and tone.
If you are a woman take steps to find a place in the weight room. Don't let the chauvinist men who talk loud and sometimes degradingly run you out of the weight room. Take ownership of the washington sport club and begin to make a place inviting for women to work out and lift weights.
Clearly Michelle Obama has found a way to demonstrate the grace of her feminity while equally showcasing the strength of feminity.  There is no reason why the washington sport club won't continue to evolve into a place that eliminates all of the gender role limitations and become a place fully embracing the strength of women and the grace of men.  Perhaps the washington sport club along with other sports and fitness centers will soon have dance and yoga classes equally embracing graceful men, as well as free weight rooms frequented by scores of women as well as men.
