LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
GAME ON
trainer, she embraced it with every fibre
of her being. Her enthusiasm for exercise
is entirely contagious – after days spent
with her, our entire team understood
why her clients love her as much as
they do. And they do – even after her
signature multi-move burpees.
Her joie de vivre is echoed by the
phalanx of incredible athletes we’ve
profiled in our Olympics portfolio.
WH’s creative director, Rob Cilliers,
descended on Durban a few weeks ago
to catch our elites in action at the African
Champs. These were some of their last
fixture dates on home soil before the
Rio Olympics, which kicks off this
month. You’re not going to see all of
them competing, which is one of the
many reasons we launched the
Women’s Health I Support Women
In Sport initiative earlier this year...
To shine the spotlight on local sports
women whose achievements are
under-valued or unrecognised and
whose disciplines are often woefully
under-funded and under-represented
in the media. These women are absolute
powerhouses – amazing role models
who sometimes hold down families and
careers along with relentless schedules.
We are utterly in awe of them. And we’ll
be cheering come August (and beyond)...

When you work for Women’s Health you
think about bodies a lot. Like way more
than is entirely necessary. And these bodies
come in all shapes and sizes. There are
those bodies that are wanting to transform
– to slim down or strengthen up – and
those bodies wanting to perform: to be
stronger, faster, more flexible, powerful.
And somewhere in the middle there are
a whole heap of us who are just trying to
perfect a triceps dip... Or get through the
#WHGetsFit Staff Fitness Challenge.
Our desk-chair-piking, fit-pole-dancing
deputy editor, Wanita, will tell you that
it’s all about setting a goal, which is why
she insisted that each of us do exactly
that when we committed to our fitness
challenge. And I hate to admit it, but she
was right. (I really hope she’s not reading
this – I’ll never live it down!) Once I’d
determined what I wanted to achieve from
the 12-week fitness programme, it became
something to work towards and track my
progress against. And I’m a little ashamed
at how it’s made me work so much harder.
I admit now that, when left to my own
fitness devices, I may have been a bit
of a slacker. Oh, I’d show up and do
something, but if the mood wasn’t right,
the planets in alignment, the leggings
on point, it was a verrry lacklustre effort.
Not so with a singular goal in mind.
If you don’t believe me, you need to
hear more from our Next Fitness Star
winner. As her story goes, once she had
set her mind to becoming a personal
