I don't know Trek - based on my own family - I'm pretty much an anomaly. My oldest sister was state champion in hurdles in high school. She's now at least 100 pounds overweight is my guess. She's 5'8" and weighs 280.
My next sister didn't get cursed with the bulging thighs and she's in pretty good shape. She rides horses. She was NOT at all athletic as a kid.
My three brothers were not into sports as kids, but were boy scouts. One is deceased, one has quite a big belly and the other is doing okay, but his jobs are a bit stressful and cause some blood pressure problems. He's got a little bit of a belly.
My third sister has never been athletic and I would guess weighs 200 - 220 at 5'2".
I'm the youngest and I've always been pretty athletic. Even when I was heavy, I was at the gym a couple of times a week.
My mother is overweight, has been all my life. My father was a smoker and his jobs kept him active so was never overweight.
I was neither encouraged nor discouraged from being active as a kid/teen.
Don't know what it all means. Probably nothing.I wish I could encourage my sisters to have a healthier lifestyle. But I know, change must come from within.
