And I always wondered if my idolizing her body is what helped me bypass the skinny 00s unscathed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile she was always thin, she was never underweight or malnourished-looking. She was always fit with a nice booty,\u201d they continued. \u201cSo being a kid\/teen and seeing super skinny models\/actresses didn&#8217;t do anything to my self-esteem.

And you saying she didn\u2019t fit the underweight aesthetic of the time\u2026. I remember my mom once told me Britney was \u2018always a little chunky\u2019 and that comment has stuck with me for a good 25 years because if she\u2019s chunky, what the h-ll was I?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you start your pop career at 16, you have a lot of years left of your metabolism carrying you through,\u201d another fan replied. \u201cYes, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>What Exercise Is Britney Spears Doing?<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Britney-Spears-Vegas.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"   width=\"480\" height=\"688\" alt=\"Britney Spears' Doctors Agreed Her Father Should Be Removed From Conservatorship\" class=\"sc-kuTxxw bwlQPK\"\/>MEGA<\/p>\n<p>Others thought that they could potentially get Britney\u2019s flat stomach by replicating the exercise shown in the video, but others weren\u2019t quite sure what exercise she was doing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo wonder she has absolutely perfect abs,\u201d one fan wrote, only for another to reply:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not an ab exercise; this is legs.
