Keep training!

WHAT’S YOUR MAIN FITNESS MOTIVATION?
Sometimes I have to give myself a swift kick up the behind
when I find myself focusing too much on how I look, as
opposed to how I feel or how fit or healthy I might be.
Caring only about how you look in the gym mirror can
mean that you’re neglecting other key elements of a fit
and functional body. As UK physique competitor Shaun
Stafford tells us in “True blue” on page 12, after lifting
weights for years, “I looked good with my shirt off, but
if you asked me to move my body in a way that was
functional I couldn’t do it. I realised I was lacking flexibility
and cardio fitness.” He now incorporates sprint work,
yoga, flexibility and gymnastic work into his routine,
and is an all-round fitter bloke for it.
So how do you stack up? Take our ultimate fitness
test on page 80 and see how you fare, not only in strength
but also flexibility, conditioning and power. Not as up to
scratch as you might like? Never fear – we’ve also got
plenty of expert advice on how to improve your results
so when you take the test again, you’ll be a lot happier
with the final outcome.

Fitness is about so much

more than how you look.
