I suspect that instructors are likely to emphasize direct arm work and especially biceps exercises (for men too, not only for women) because the biceps are archetypical "mirror," "beach," or "show" muscles--as people have noticed elsewhere, what motion do you readers associate with the phrase "make a muscle"? I've even read a report of a man who exercised only his left biceps because it was the side (in the United States) that would hang out his driver's-side window.

That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." The Velveteen Rabbit Last edited by hch; 05-07-19 at 11:16 AM.
