I think the shape of our bodies has as much to do with the shape of our parents as it does with training. ↗

You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights. And in ballet, this isn't the case. ↗

I sang in a rock band when I was training as a lawyer. You know, not professional, we just did it for fun. We just did gigs all over Edinburgh and some in Glasgow and some at festivals. ↗
