Running a marathon requires great endurance. Yoga helps to train my flexibility. I go to the gym regularly to strengthen my back muscles. Doing sports gives you so many opportunities to socialise. I’ve already made lots of friends at the gym.

I did not have nose surgery because I wanted it to look better, but I wasn’t able to breathe properly. Body modifications can take many different forms – piercings, tattoos, or even surgery. Unfortunately, many sportspeople resort to doping to enhance their performance. A common approach to the detection of doping is to search the athletes’ team facilities for any banned substances. According to the World Anti-Doping Agency it is essential to stop the misuse of genetic engineering in sport.

She underwent cosmetic surgery because she didn’t feel comfortable in her own body anymore. People who judge a book by its cover are really superficial. The surgical procedure took about 2 hours and cost her $ 6.000. The surgeon promised her that the scars wouldn’t be visible. It’s your imperfections that make you unique. You should learn to cherish them. Lynne suffered from many insecurities due to her deformed nose.

Her constant backache forced her to undergo a breast reduction.

Cindy is obsessed with plastic surgery. She’s already had more than 20 surgeries. Her classmates’ jokes about her nose would bring her to tears. When will people realise that looks aren’t everything? Beauty comes from the inside. She received strong pain medication after her surgery.

A failed plastic surgery ruined her modelling career. No designer wanted to book her anymore.

Seite 57 I was really scared of the surgery, but I went through with it. You’ve got to strengthen your arguments; otherwise you won’t be able to persuade her. Debates about plastic surgery on teenagers are heated. Infection and nerve damage are but a few risks of plastic surgery. Healing from a surgery can take quite some time. Surgery is a major shock to the body. She said putting herself through the physical stress of surgery wasn’t as bad as the mental problems she had to deal with.

She’s much more outgoing since she had her surgery done.

While cosmetic surgery used to be a rarity a few years ago, it’s become quite common nowadays. People are no longer ashamed of confessing to having undergone plastic surgery.

Michael Jackson was a prime example of a person with an addiction to cosmetic surgery. Would you even dare to undergo surgery given all the risks? We should distinguish between elective procedures and those treatments that are really necessary. She’s undergone many facial surgeries, including a nose job and a face lift. Be sure to choose a qualified surgeon who carries out the procedure. You look nothing short of wonderful. Why don’t you see that?

Scar tissue has a different texture and is less flexible than normal skin. This kind of procedure has become obsolete due to replacement by a newer, less invasive treatment. In an “opt-out” legislative system like in Austria, anyone who has not explicitly refused can serve as an organ donor. She’ll undergo her 30th plastic surgery next week. Quite obviously, she has more money than sense.

Researchers have found a gene for breast cancer. Medical procedures to alter our genes could transform a couch potato into a professional athlete. Genetic engineering would make training trivial. You would be able to run a marathon with no effort.

An emerging science called gene modification might soon be challenging the meaning of all sports competition.

Genetic engineering could help people possess enormous physical strength without lifting a single weight. Though technically superior, he wasn’t able to beat his opponent in the boxing match.

The World Anti-Doping Agency has already banned genetic doping. It’s declared illegal now. His trainer urged him to take the pills. He said it would enhance his performance.

He was injected with a gene for muscle growth. As a result, his body changed and became more muscular. Researchers have found that combining genetic modification with regular exercise was the most promising technique.

I knew I was taking a great risk when I took those pills, but I just wanted to win the match so badly.

She’s an overwhelmingly beautiful woman. I just can’t keep my eyes off of her.

He required oxygen therapy because he couldn’t breathe anymore. Do women and men sense pain differently?

Gene-doping may soon be the next frontier in sports cheating.

If you decide to sign the contract straight away, we will not charge a joining fee. They waived the entrance fee because a few attractions were down for maintenance. I wanted to cancel my gym membership, but they asked me for a cancellation fee. My contract expires soon. I would like to renew it. The gym even offers a crèche, so I could take my children with me. She finished her studies with a doctorate degree. Today’s course had to be cancelled because the trainer was ill. If you want to drop out , you will have to cancel your membership in writing. Fees vary depending on the number of courses you would like to join. She’s a highly qualified personal trainer. She’s got a BA in Health.
