Is Cheryl Burke a fitness role model?

Posted by Maria Kang on October 23rd, 2008

Heck yah!

I don’t watch too much t.v., but when I do, I sometimes indulge in some “Dancing with the Stars.” I was recently reading a magazine (I think it was US Weekly) and it had an article on one of the seasoned dancers on DWTS, Cheryl Burke. Apparently, she has gained a lot of weight since last season and is getting a lot of criticism for it. I do have to say, that compared to the itty, bitty people on the show, she definitely looks a lot bigger.

HOWEVER, I don’t thinks she’s overweight. I think she’s a different representation of health and fitness. Obviously she works out. Maybe she doesn’t eat chicken breast and broccoli all day long…but in reality (I mean real life reality) who does eat that way?  It’s great to see a different type of body out there on t.v.

Just my two cents!


As we know her.
