Came across this funny Japanese anime called “How Heavy Are The Dumbbells You Lift”. High school girl joins a gym with a girl from her school. Her reactions are much like my sister. Before each exercise they show a detailed example and explanation on how to perform the exercise properly. Of course some things are over the top for the sake of humor but the exercise instructions aren’t exaggerated nor glossed over.

This is the first episode in original Japanese language with English subtitles. Funimation has the full size video and English dub over.
The more I watch, the more I wish this was on TV here in USA to help educate and motivate young people to exercise and eat right.
Watched that brief clip and its stupid. Looks like something directed at boys going through puberty and can not yet get any girls. So they get their "fix" on this ridiculous anime. Dumb, oversexualized and borderline pervy. It'll NEVER EVER EVER be put on any network/cable tv here in the USA.
Not sure where you live, but where I am, young people are very very motivated to workout and eat right. From running, to yoga, to specialized gyms, etc. Its one of the things I can honestly say about the younger generations is that they are DEFINITELY more fitness/health oriented than previous generations.

Your porn-y anime is just stupid.
Porny? No. Less “porny” than most soap operas and network and cable offerings today. Stupid, well it’s a comedy cartoon so there is going to be some stupidity involved. So all the going people in the USA look and act just like your little corner of the world? Judging by obesity rates in the USA and other parts of the world I’d say most young people today aren’t rally that interested in exercise and nutrition until they’ve reached obesity and even some of them don’t bother trying. If you’d bothered to get past the opening and finish the episode you would have seen the protagonist of the story acts as the average person ignorant of gyms, exercise, diet, and nutrition. She makes mistakes, her trainer or friend corrects her mistakes, and they educated her on how to exercise, eat, and motivate her to keep going. Other episodes show days they can’t get to the gym and they learn other exercises they can do. In one episode a person was sore from working out the day before and she was taught to do an active rest day leading her to do a brisk but gentle walk to circulate blood and loosen those muscles she worked the day before.

I can see preteen girls liking this. And usually, stuff that preteen girls like, I don't. (Flashback to vampire series books, yuck).
The one about the blonde girl who has gained weight, though, smacks of state-sponsored health/thinness propoganda. Is that what's behind these? Like the Presidential Fitness award in the 60's? Is this series produced by the government to keep their girls skinny?

Don’t know enough about it to say. I do know it’s been produced as a manga (Japanese comic book/graphic novel) for some time before it was made into a tv series.
