成人快手

Strength can look like a lot of things and here comedian Jessica Fostekew digs into some of the most unladylike sports going. In this episode we look at Crossfit - a heady mix of strength, gymnastics and athleticism AKA 'exercise tapas'.

Jess talks to Crossfit champion and 2022's sixteenth fittest woman in the world - Lucy Campbell - about muscularity, finding a community and why even a sport which has trumpeted equality from its inception still has a way to go when it comes to the sexualisation of the women at the top of their game.

And she demonstrates why, on the radio, it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between the sound of a woman lifting a heavy weight, and the sound of a baby elephant on a steam train.
