I applaud Dara. Too many women have chosen to "settle" for the middle age spread..much too soon. Sure its hard work. You can't BUY abs.. Diet, exercise and hard work are the secret.

It's ture, 'real woman' is an overused and unintelligent, immature response to a strong, fit, talented athlete, a gorgeous, self-disciplined model or an attractive actress. We hear it all the time: "she's not a role model blah blah good genetics blah she has money blah unlike real woman blah".

Dara Torres is an athlete. Most important is her athletic ability. She shouldn't be criticised for having hugely toned abs, this just suggests a childish jealousy. There is no reason anyone should hit out at a self-disciplined individual just for being better than them.

There are many people without her nine assistants or her money that manage to exercise. It's an easy trap "If I had her time/money" but its not true, many manage nine hours of good exercise including running, swimming and press-ups without all thousands of expendable dollars or nine assistants. Sure, that's not as much exercise as her, but that much will give tone.

Dara Torres is real, she's just superbly.
