Shes a pro i guess she works out full time, or is working on herself in some way no ?
Is that unrealistic? 6h a day ? is that hard?

Its implied. Why not put a picture of a cabbage on there then..? Or No picture.
It is the norm unfortunately, more than 2/3 of men and 1/2 of women in the UK are overweight or obese. Being fit and healthy is considered skinny, as seen by the complaints about the healthy, fit woman in the advert.

Go to many other countries and you will see just how unhealthy our population actually is.
This is only showing you don't understand how the human body works, she might do a couple of hours a day, the rest is sticking to a good diet.
FOr the same reason you don't put a cabbage when selling a car.
She's not an athlete, she's a model.
I doubt she does much more than eat well and the odd bit of exercise.
no not at all, given this is the only thing i think most have seen her in shes probably got another job.
More likely she probay spends an hour in the gym a few days a week and does a run/cycle 2-3 times a week, then eats healthily. That way she has 8 hours to do her job, which is to be a model and go to photo shoots/events.
From your comment a couple of posts ago I assume you're a big guy, it just seems like the 40h comment is you making excuses to yourself why you couldn't be like that rather than a realistic amount of time.
Nah i think she is a professional model.
THis will probably boost her career ten fold though.
Well i can see that here, everyday.
Then you understand that you don't need to spend 40 hours in the gym to get a body like that then..
Walk to the shops, eat healthily and do the occasional bit of proper exercise. That's what most people with bodies like that do.
No i just took the UK working week in hours and used the number.
I stand corrected on all the assumptions on her training routine until we know the facts
I simply used 40h - nothing more. I did not strictly mean non stop working out 40h a week- that would be far fetched.
But her entire working day is devoted to making her look stunning and photogenic. How ever that is achieved.
It'd be misleading if it was like all the bogus adverts you see in spam emails, tweets, facebook posts saying "Lost 5st in 2 weeks! Go from [this] to [this]!" etc. but it doesn't therefore it isn't misleading - or are you implying everything regarding additional nutrition is misleading? "Gain lean muscle" for example on most whey protein powder supplement packs - that is all is being advertised, it doesn't say it has to be done in a specific time frame - which also reverts into our initial spout; yes she has more time available making it 'quicker' and 'easier' to maintain, but it doesn't mean it's not possible for the fatties who are complaining about this and who complain about how long it takes. I know about this stuff, it doesn't take much thought to see the bigger picture and all issues which are easily resolvable around it...
You clearly have no clue:
It takes ~1 hour of exercise per day, 3-5 time per week. If that's so taxing then I guess you'd better just whack a few extra pie and chips in the microwave and lard around in front of the TV instead to better use that oh so many hours of potential 'hard work', not that working out is hard.
-EDIT: [insert Kermit yet again]-
People need help mentally to begin with, once the initial confidence has been gained you'll see people happily training on their own and knowing what they're doing which changes their mentality and complex as well as their mentality to people who they then aspire to look like. Moaning fatties are the worst kind of people; "I'm fat, unhealthy and therefore other people aren't allowed to be healthy and in good shape because eating crap and doing nothing doesn't work for me." Meh.
-EDIT:
Yes, 6hrs a day is unrealistic. You won't see people weight training for more than 1.5hrs - or at least those who have knowledge about the damage of training for excessive times.

I know a few guys who are are shredded but have full time jobs, what black magic do they use? People incorrectly assume to get real toned that you have to spend 4 hours a day in the gym, this is wrong. Looking like that is probably about 80% diet and you only have to spend about an hour in the gym a day. Which is not that much when you think about it.
Saw this ad on a bus stop the other day. Kind of related. I don't see any males getting up on their high horses and shouting from the rooftops about how this guy looks.
Its the female chubsters just looking for someone to blame other than their "low metabolism". It's not unrealistic to have a body like that at all, they just can't be bothered to get off their fat a***s.
perhaps you should think about it... yes I understand what you're getting at but you can't completely separate how people actually look with how they feel about their looks
What is wrong with that? At some level it is probably better that people do have negative views about obesity, that people who become obese do have a negative image of their body and feel like doing something about it. The whole idea that we should be completely happy regardless of our size is flawed... especially at the extreme end - morbidly obese people probably shouldn't be proud of their bodies in the same way that people who put effort into eating healthily and exercising might be.
Yes they're using a hot model as an 'ideal body' but so what... do we worry that a mercedes advert will give low income people 'status anxiety'? Perhaps sofa adverts should show people in council flats rather than large living rooms in family homes lest single unemployed people start suffering from anxiety.
