Alicia keys doing some exercise at the beach

She only needs to lose a few pounds and tone up a little more to be in the kind of shape people expect her to be in. I think she looks fine for a regular human.

OMG she's SO FAT!!!

where are her RIBS?!??!?

[juliensorel]

Sorry guys, but she is unfit - bottom heavy (huge hips and ass) and very little muscle tone up top - and she has the worst breast situation of all - the small saggies.

Remember she is still young so to be this big this young...not good.
While most men carry their excess fat in the belly, most women have realtively toned bellies while their hips, legs, and asses are fat. I bet her body fat is around 27%, which for her age range is "overweight".

Not trying to be harsh or cruel, but she is overweight as well.

More exercise needed, and less partying.

Excuse me while my eyes roll out of my head and I laugh at you.

the sexiest thing about a woman is the groove in her ribs.

[jtoland]

Are beach workouts the "in" thing now?

I would love to have a body like hers. Bottom heavy women look the best; I tend to gain weight in my arms and chest, and HATE it!

Huh?

She has visible delts, traps, bis and tri which is more than I can say for most women in hollywood and under some belly fat she has ab muscles. And are you kiding me???? The stomach and love handle area is one of the most popular estrogentic area for fat deposits. Where one carrries fat has nothing to do with being male or female - it's genetic and varies person to person.

And another thing bodyfat % has absolutely NOTHING to do with age.

I agree. I'd LOVE to be bottom heavy. For one thing, bottom heavy women can afford to have a few extra pounds and look marvelous. Apples like me can't afford those extra pounds. It's all on my waist and back. Sure I have thin legs, thighs, and butt. But my middle looks like shit, and I hide under sweatshirts. I'd give anything to have a figure like Alicia's! Okay, maybe not anything.

Suede you couldn't be more ignorant if you tried...the amout of body fat someone is allowed to carry has a DIRECT relationship with their age...

If you want I can photoshop the pic and circle the problem areas...but I think it's pretty obvious.

First off - everyone fit or not fit has problem or lag areas and clearly she carries her stibborn fat in her butt and legs.

IS allowed to carry??? That's a blanket statement - that is a ridiculous as the weight charts that tell you to subtract or add lbs based on age or better yet using the BMI index as guide to "fatness".

Of course as you age you will by nature carry more body fat but you will also start to lose muscle mass unless you actively keep muscle on your body. Higher bodyfat and lower muscle mass is also why your metabolism slows as you age.

It's too generalized of a statement - are you talking about a 7 year old student or a 7 year old athlete? 20 year old beer drinking student or a 20 year old volleyball player, a 50 year old coffee drinking pizza eating desk worker or fit & active, clean eating 50 year old - and are these people men or women?

Weight and bodyfat and how some carries it are individual specific and the only given is that men carry less body fat then women.There are women that will have visble abs at 15% and other not til 10/11% - providing that actually have ab muscles. There are men that carry more fat in the thighs and butt than other men - oddly enough I've noticed they usually have better calves than they lean legged counterparts.

Age as a factor for an allowance of bodyfat is kinda funny.

Maybe you'd like to talk about women trying to conceive and their bodyfat.

She looks HELLA good!

[buttmunch]

Fat? What? Nope. I'm with the others...she looks pretty good. Not perfect but pretty good.
