Life of inactivity. On a picture of her performing an activity.

F'real, reddit...

You're assuming that the activity is part of a normal exercise routine and not just staged for a photo op. It's entirely possible that that picture is the only time that the OPs GF ever did yoga.

Besides that, yoga (unless it's intensive) doesn't burn that many calories. A 150 pound woman doing 30 minutes of yoga will burn about 90 calories vs the same woman walking at a 3 mile per hour pace that would burn around 145 calories.

I can see it now.

Not so much that as maybe she was fucking around on the floor, the cat jumped on her, and she decided to get into some sort of yoga pose.

I mean, whenever you see a "perfect" picture like this you've got to wonder if it was staged or not.

'logic'

TIL logic is the ability to just make shit up with no support for its veracity.

"logic" is redditspeak for "shit i believe/agree with"

I'm glad you analyzed this, it was absolutely necessary. It's only natural, since everytime a fat guy appears in a pic on the front page we apply the exact same scrutiny to him.

You're welcome.

I certainly would.

Come on, it's a "perfect" picture for getting karma. You have to think that maybe it was staged.

Clearly that isn't the case because people are both upvoting and downvoting me which is a sure sign that they care about my opinion.

Actually some of us are assuredly just downvoting you on reflex.

You certainly have the right to do so.

Clearly people on reddit care, including people in SRD since they are discussing her level of activity vs. inactivity.

I'm just pointing out that one photograph of someone doing an activity does not always equal an active lifestyle. Plus that particular yoga pose isn't exactly hard to do, even for people who have never done yoga before.

It's also interesting to note that in terms of calories burned, yoga isn't all that efficient if your goal is to lose weight.
