Well yes, I understand that part too. Thanks again for the confirmation

There's a few more sentences that I'm not really sure about.

1/ 蘭ちゃん、意外にアスリート向きなのかもねえ。体重を 増やさずに筋力をアップさせるのって大変なのよ~。ボ クサーの人なんかもそれで苦労してるし。
a/ Does アスリート向き mean "having the aptitude of an athlete"?
b/ By 大変, do the last two lines mean it is difficult to train one's physical strength without increasing one's weight that even boxers have troubles doing that?

2/ そして、子どものころから葵と一緒にいろんな習い事を やらされてきたせいか、体に沁みついてしまった立ち振 る舞い。挙措。
a/ I'd like to ask about the nuance of やらされる. Does the narrator mean that someone else (like his mother) made him learn all sort of things with Aoi (although he may not enjoy the activities)?
b/ I looked up 立ち振る舞い and 挙措 in several dictionaries, and the results were "behavior" or "manner" for both. So what do the words actually mean in the sentence?
