I greatly disagree with this. Riding a horse even with a saddle makes you use plenty of muscle and it’s pretty freakin’ strenuous if you’re not used to it. I was sore for days after my first attempt.
Monica is not an very active person and I’m sure that skating was really working her legs and core.
Yes, they call it frozen custard. It seems to be mostly a Midwest thing; I had never heard of it in California, but it’s all over the place in Milwaukee, where my wife grew up.
She isn’t entirely wrong either.
1. Exercise gets a lot of things in shape, it isn’t just about removing calories from your system, so adding back the calories you burn with exercise doesn’t render the exercise moot, just removes the “getting rid of calories part of it.” You will still improve your heart health, clean out your cardiovascular system, and build muscle and endurance.
2. Even if you replace every calorie you burn from an exercise session, you will increase your muscle mass. Muscle burns calories even when “at rest.” So you might think you burned 300 calories then ate 300 calories of ice cream for a net of no calorie change, but you might burn at extra 20 calories a day for the next year because of that muscle mass.
3. Replacing calories after exercise can encourage your body to spend calories more freely during exercise, meaning you work harder, burn more, build more, etc.
I’m with Kevin–especially since she was on roller skates, being pulled by her dog.
I’m with Monica because… well just look at the fourth panel!
Imagine trying to keep your balance in that situation; trust me, there was exertion. Just ask anyone who rides horseback.
You mean bareback? Because horseback is easy and uses very little muscle.

Looks like she’s using the same muscles as I do when waterskiing, more or less. I got a six-pack from waterskiing alone.
Two comments: She can eat a whole QUART of ice-cream by herself?
and comment 2:
They make CUSTARD ice-cream? I MUST TRY SOME!
It’s easy. Only reason to not do it is that it is expensive (At least if you want to have quality ice).
It’s actually one of the main items on the Culver’s menu (Culver’s is a fancier fast food place that is kind of a favorite in Minnesota)

Western New York is known for it too. If you are in the Buffalo area, find a chain called Andersons
and this is the first glimpse of another massive attribute of hers.

Yeah, all that. We’ve been told Monica is underweight and out of shape; exercise and icecream should be perfect.
