Exercise?

It can also be the same of the woman's hand, we all have different shapes whatever we are fit or not. I like you theory and it makes sense but sometimes life or even our body does not have to make sense, it just is.

Hi Joanne, I think that exercise alone doesn't make you skinny or shapely. My twin is not only dieting all the time but they walk and workout at least 3 times a week. She's never had the weight problem like me but she's not skinny anymore like when she was a kid. The finger theory is an interesting thought. Even with a weight problem, I've always had skinny fingers and fairly slim legs. Go figure! leenie

Well, there's not really alot of muscles IN the fingers...it's mostly in the hand...and the hand doesn't do alot when you're typing, it's all your fingers and tendons and what have you. It's like asking if you lift your index finger constantly for two days straight if it will become powerful, I guess. But it is kinda funny, when you think about it.

LOL~ I love it!! I think that is so funny. If my fingers were to get skinny, they wouldn't match with my body as well:) It doesn't make any sense though, does it. Does this give us a reason to stop exercising our bodies, since it doesn't work on our fingers?

Could be muscles and not fat. Liberace used to have large fingers. It was amazing to watch him play the piano. He wore big rings on each finger and that made each finger look huge. But I think it was all muscle. As for skinny fingers and typing, not sure that would apply for me. I type VERY fast, but all it gets me is pain in my hands.

Hello, Oh ya our fingers should be slim and super toned . we kinda are working out our fingers here so in a way you are right . I have always had some meat to me but my fingers are nut stubby and kinda slim and my hands are real small too my fiance always tells me how cute they are !

i would like fat fingers!!!!!maybe she inherited it.hope this makes some sense. happy posting.

Good question. Might be that her fingers are swollen from some medical condition. Water retention will do it for sure. If I type most of the day, my fingers are a bit swollen when I get up the following morning.

It's also interesting to note that concert pianists tend to have the same stumpy little sausage fingers, too! Very strange - so maybe there is a lot of muscle build-up.

That is really funny, I haven't noticed that. You would think with all that exercise at least her fingers would be thin. I just do Yoga so I don't expect to loose weight. I just do it for strech and balance.

All that comes to mind is that she must have a lot of muscles in her fingers. to make them appear so stocky.. LOL does that make any sense? I know what you mean though I keep saying that I need to start working out, But I want a work out buddy to help keep me motivated. One day I will realize that only I can make me do it, not others. I would love to have someone to go walking with!
