I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at an article I read a few days ago. I think it was from the magazine in the Mail on Sunday from a couple of weeks ago but I can't be sure - it was lying in the office at the farm so god only knows!
The article was supposed to be summarising health benefits of cosmetic surgery. I thought the name 'cosmetic' was a giveaway to its purpose...
On liposuction, I quote: "It was originally invented to remove fat cells in key areas around the belly button, outer thighs and upper arms that were resistant to diet and exercise, not as a weight loss solution."
The stomach, thighs and upper arms are all areas that become toned as a result of riding, which does not just involve 'sitting and looking pretty'. This is a huge misconception of outsiders. Riders will all agree that any type of riding requires physical exertion, particularly applied to these supposed 'exercise resistant areas'. It should be considered that the wrong exercise is being done if said areas are unaffected.
If whoever wrote the article has anything whatsoever to do with the medical profession, they want sacking. Pronto.
