How to use "Heavyset" in context?
Most of us don't give much thought to what it takes to be a "heavyset" person. We think of people who are obese, or who have bulky muscle mass. But what about people who are just overweight? What about people who have a lot of muscle without being bulky?
We call these people "heavyset," and they have their own set of unique challenges.
For one, heavyset people have to contend with a lot of extra weight on their body. That weight packs on the inevitable fat, making it difficult to move around and exercise.
