Britney Spears Slammed For Being 'Chunky' In Gym Bikini Throwback

Pop star Britney Spears was known for her dancing skills as well as her singing.
In a throwback video posted to Reddit, a fan posted a throwback video of the “Toxic” singer in the gym, wearing a white bikini top as she performed some squats on a cable machine while leaning backward.
Did Britney Spears Have The ‘Perfect Body’?

In the comments, fans speculated that the “Oops!... I Did It Again” singer had the “perfect” body, with one user speculating, “I always thought she had the perfect body. And I always wondered if my idolizing her body is what helped me bypass the skinny 00s unscathed.”
“While she was always thin, she was never underweight or malnourished-looking. She was always fit with a nice booty,” they continued. “So being a kid/teen and seeing super skinny models/actresses didn't do anything to my self-esteem. I never wanted to look like them. I wanted to look like Britney.”
‘I Always Wanted To Look Like Britney’
Another follower agreed, typing, “I always wanted to look like Britney, too. And you saying she didn’t fit the underweight aesthetic of the time…. I remember my mom once told me Britney was ‘always a little chunky’ and that comment has stuck with me for a good 25 years because if she’s chunky, what the h-ll was I?”
“When you start your pop career at 16, you have a lot of years left of your metabolism carrying you through,” another fan replied. “Yes, her body was TEA! But she was also really young, but dressed older than her age, so it constantly warps my mind that this woman could be 19, but giving the energy of a confident 25-year-old. Many of us looked more snatched 17-22 than we do later in years.”
What Exercise Is Britney Spears Doing?

Others thought that they could potentially get Britney’s flat stomach by replicating the exercise shown in the video, but others weren’t quite sure what exercise she was doing.
“No wonder she has absolutely perfect abs,” one fan wrote, only for another to reply:
“This is not an ab exercise; this is legs. Looks like a modified squat with a partial row. really weird actually.”
Still, another user added, “Her body is rocking so it’s working for her.” One fan even ventured that she should stop posting dancing videos on Instagram and start giving her followers advice in the gym instead.

“Instead of dancing, I’d love for her to give gym tips. I bet she’d be great at that,” one fan commented, leaving another to reply, “Can you imagine a line of Britney workout videos? She’d RULE!”
Another user agreed, adding, “Omg I would give my last dime to be instructed by this queen,” while one netizen joked that “Britney fans will be running around with the most beautiful abs ever.” Maybe one day!
