Is Christina Hendricks Bringing Curvy Back?

A Health and Fitness Post About the Ideal Female Body…by Brad Campbell

Christina Hendricks Curvy BodyAlright, I need your opinion on this–is Christina Hendricks bringing the curvy look back? What are your thoughts?

Personally, I’ve always thought that the best look for guys is to be extremely ripped with very low body fat percentage (that should be evident by the many celebrity workout posts I’ve done).

But for women, I’ve always said that “toned and curvy” is the way to go.  In other words, a little body fat in the right places (you might be able to guess where those ‘places’ are…) is actually more attractive than being too lean.

One celebrity female who certainly isn’t lacking in the curves department is none other than Mad Men actress Joan Holloway (aka Mrs. Hendricks)…

Interestingly enough, Christina was chosen for the May 2010 cover of Esquire magazine, as she took the crown for best looking woman.  Her polar opposite, the much leaner Megan Fox, came in third overall.  Hmm…

Just a few years ago it seemed like all the Hollywood chicks were going for the borderline anorexic look.  Now days, the needle on the “ideal female body gauge” is tilting back towards voluptuous.

So I’m curious to get your feedback–both guys and girls…

What’s your take on Cristina Hendricks’s curvy figure? Do you think that as the obesity problem continues to spiral out of control, our outlook on what’s healthy or attractive gets shifted as well?  Do you agree with Esquire’s selection?

Leave you opinion below…don’t be shy.

Your Coach,

Brad Campbell

PS – I’ll leave you with another interesting fact:  the number of online searches relating to “how to get a curvy body” has increased substantially the past 8-12 months…interesting, huh?  Here’s the best program I’ve seen for sculpting a lean fitness model-like body, but without sacrificing your curves…

    Hey Brad, cool blog going on here. I think it is great that for once they are giving a meatier woman some recognition. I think Christina looks great and the stick figure look is out of style, IMO anyway.

    I agree. She’s HOT! Females do look best with a healthy amount of body fat.

    My vote is for toned and curvy all the way! I think your preference is what “most” people prefer, but I’m sure everyone has their own individual tastes.

    I think she’s got a very unique look to her and I’m sure the huge boobs don’t hurt with the guys LOL! I like a slightly more toned look, but Christina looks way better than a lot of celebs that get too thin and frail. Curves are good as long as the stomach, arms and legs aren’t too soft and flabby ( – :

    Yo Brad, I think curvy is making a comeback and this is at least some evidence of that. Girls who are smaller, but still with curves–now that IS a good look. By the way, this is far and away the best fat loss/lean body website there is. I stop by here every day to see if there is anything I might have missed.

    I don’t agree with the toned statement. Did you know that the way women’s bodies are, and the fact they’re made to carry a child, means they naturally shouldn’t be very toned.
    Christina Hendricks has the perfect body shape..that is in fact my own body shape, and i don’t try to make it more toned, because guys like it the way it is. Those men that prefer small waifs, are frankly ones that i wouldn’t prefer not to associate with. The idea of promoting something that is so clearly unhealthy is ridiculous, that’s what causes eating disorders.

    First of all i’d like to say that Megan Fox is smokin’ hott!! I love her lean sexy body and i don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, but i also love a woman with curves although when you have a woman with curves you gotta think about the latter years when she’s older those curves aren’t gonna be so appealing… but just for this blog, i love both curvy and lean women.

    I think what makes her special is that she really rocks it. She has amazing style and presence. I don’t think of her as a ‘plus size’ actress the way the media has (unfortunately) labeled some other females. I like that she is right up in the ‘competition’ with very svelte girls. I think she’s level-ing the playing field in a way.

    Christina Hendricks is hot. Megan fox is a stuck up little girl.

    Woman or Girl, which do you prefer? You have to decide.

    I’ve always like a bit of meat on a woman, got to have something to hold on to.

      James, I agree man…don’t get me wrong, I like girls in all shapes and sizes and I think a really toned girl is attractive too, but I LOVE the curves. =) I think Christina Hendricks looks amazing. Thanks for the feedback.

      Brad
