She is beautiful and very kind. I think the level of comfort for each of us is different regarding clothing choices and that's fine. I am very conservative and don't like her "look" as much but overlook it more since she grew up in a different culture than my southern, Bible-belt type culture, if that makes sense.

I can see how others would have varying degrees of comfort with the photos that Sylwia posts that reflect different upbringings, culture, mindsets, etc.
However, I'm not one to flaunt around on a beach in a teeny-tiny bikini (just a regular one LOL), and yet I love Sylwia's photos and, yes, I find them "empowering." I also don't see the photos as reflecting any preoccupation with the female body, and I like to think I'm an avid feminist. I think it's wonderful when women feel emboldened about the strength and shape of their bodies. That, to me, is the true "liberation" of women - not hiding or being ashamed of your body or your strength, but showing the world who you are, inside and out. And that is what I perceive Sylwia's message to be, a message about feeling great and just being your genuine self, both physically and mentally. She mentions that all the time in her workouts. |

i first met Sylwia on the beach in her tiny bikini working out while her son was playing sandcastles/i loved her smile and she right away opened her heart to me and my ex/in the beginning i felt uncomfortable that i am working out with half naked woman on the beach (mind she didn't even charge us for her time) and my husband looking at her body / however with her bubbly and warm personality you forget looking at her body and start listening to her (she talks a lot)/she deserves credit and even award for making me confident about my body and myself especially after divorce/she always made me feel special/today i admire her physique / 8 years later she looks better than ever/i agree she is comfortable with her body/ her flat chest, not full lips/yet she looks sexy to me but strong sexy and inspirational /my opinion / i am dying to try her new workouts

I think I came across prudish. I'm not. To be clear, I don't mind photos of her in bikinis, cut-outs etc. She certainly has a magnificent, strong physique and I totally admire her for that. But on her site there is a (weird, to me) series that pops up with her wearing leather and high heels, in odd squat poses with her head lolling to the side that seems... I dunno, a bit S+M or something. It seems so forced and fake-sexual to me. Each to his/her own but it makes me cringe when I see it as I don't care for that style used to market a fitness method.

She was raised in Poland.. Easter Europeans are tend to be more comfortable in their sexuality.. I feel. My Mums family is Polish .. I was raised to see my body and my sexuality to be embraced. Sylwia is a strong confident woman.. I think she looks fabulous and I love her style. I want to see her body as I think it is beautiful .. as does she. Try slipping on "S&M" style clothing or lingerie.. you may just like it!! Women need to support other women.. not tear them apart for choices they make. She is a women to be looked up to. She works and has a family.. and she always looks fabulous and has a smile on her face that would light up the world! I'd rather see her style of dressing more than what I see out there now.
Imagine it were you who was being written about this way on here and you were reading comments made about you .. she reads this forum I am sure!! I would never want to say something that would hurt another woman's feeling.. especially when talking about their personal style... |
