Many of you will have arrived on my mailing list via an ad I've been running on Facebook, that mentions getting fit for summer and forever. However it previously had the headline 'Hello Body Confidence!' - which at the time I thought was pretty cool and worked with the image (me, topless, in a very posed scenario - which it obviously was).

Morning Guys, Hope you're well. Time to crack on with... Five Truths the Fitness Industry doesn't want you to know... 1. Magazine cover models do not look like that all year - Quite they opposite.
