Wobbly Man Is Keep-Fit King

Vast aerobics instructor Jody Bunting is not exactly what you would expect for someone in his profession.

While his counterparts are often super-toned muscle gods,with bronzed pecs and tree-trunk thighs,Jody weighs a whopping wobbly 29 stone.

Looks certainly are deceptive as the 22-year-old proves every time he leads a keep-fit class as a fully-qualified aerobics teacher.

Jody,who is 6ft 1in tall,teaches high-energy aerobics at several venues near his home in England.

His classes watch in amazement as he jumps,steps and swings his enormous bulk for two hour-long sessions a week.

The customer services assistant first joined a gym when he was 15 in an attempt to lose weight,but enjoyed aerobics so much he trained to be an instructor.

Enthusiastic Jody,who is due to be a father later this year,hopes his efforts will inspire other larger people to take up exercise.

"I've spent half of my life on diets but,at the moment,I'm just happy staying the way I am.

"People see me and think I won't be able to take the pace.But,after one class,they see I can do exactly what a normal person can do.

"It's a great motivator for them because they look at me and say,if he can do it,anyone can."

His fiancee Raelene Harrison says even she has trouble keeping up with Jody when it comes to keeping fit.

The svelte 21-year-old,who has been with Jody since they met at catering school five years ago,said "I go to his classes and it's the other people who are worn out.

"I think what he does is brilliant - there's so much pressure to be thin these days,his attitude is refreshing."

Though Jody was only 10-and-a-half stone when they met,Raelene says his extra weight has never been an issue for her.

"It's what's inside that counts.I love Jody because he is caring and friendly and loads of fun to be around.I would never try to change him" she added.

"I think he's going to lose loads of weight when the baby comes.If he thinks aerobics is hard work,he hasn't seen anything yet!"
