What are the physical features of women who played sports in school?

I’m Fuu, a column writer. Radio calisthenics every morning and evening? That’s lovely—and doing it twice a day should give you a pretty decent workout and help you maintain your strength. Consistency pays off. I’m imagining that you either have a beautifully toned figure, or that you’re slim enough for your muscles to show because there isn’t much body fat. Women who exercise often develop noticeable muscles in different areas—for example, swimmers tend to have well-developed shoulders, while basketball players often have strong thighs and muscles around their knees.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here, and I’ll answer this too. > I’m not overweight, but I do have a decent amount of flesh on my thighs and butt... When someone is slim overall but has fuller thighs, I tend to think they may have done some kind of running-based exercise. Track and field is the most obvious example, but other sports that involve a lot of running can also build muscle in the legs, so even after someone stops exercising, their thighs may remain relatively thick. But because what was originally muscle keeps its shape even when fat is added, it looks clearly different from someone who simply gained weight without exercising. You may just have a well-balanced, attractive distribution of flesh. As for women who appear to have broad shoulders, that may also be due to muscle structure. I would assume they did some kind of exercise. If I had to guess, though, perhaps strength training, mountain climbing, bouldering, or something along those lines. Either way, I think muscle that was built through exercise looks beautiful. Still, if you were intensely involved in cultural clubs and never trained at all, maybe you’re simply genetically predisposed to having a well-developed frame? It’s a mystery based on what you’ve said, but if everyone says the same thing, there must be some distinctive feature. Maybe you were doing something in everyday life that unknowingly trained your muscles...?

I’m Gaku, a male member. > I have practically no muscle. > Once I take my clothes off and my figure is visible, > I’m not overweight, but I do have a fair amount of flesh around my thighs and buttocks. Maybe you have very little abdominal fat, which makes the definition of your six-pack abs more noticeable? Radio calisthenics can also be good exercise if you do it properly. Women with a strong core tend to look more toned.

I’m Ayase Nana, a female member. Maybe it has to do with how their muscles develop? Men who used to play rugby still retain their muscles even as they get older. Those who played baseball or soccer aren’t all flabby either. They probably just say that as a polite compliment. I used to do classical ballet, so sadly, my muscles are hidden. I think a soft, flabby body is cuter on girls, but what do men think?

I’m Kazu, a male member. I feel that women who played sports in school tend to have sturdier builds. It’s kind of the opposite, right? Massage therapists often ask me if I played sports when I was a student, too. Apparently, they can tell from the way my muscles are developed. And they’re right—I did.
