• Fitness Tip: Get great glutes by targeting the muscles and connective tissues buried deep in your body. To hit them, do high-intensity squats, eg. jump squats.

  • Fitness Tip: Unless you’re training for a marathon, skip long-distance running – sprinting builds more muscle. Add some 10 to 60 second sprints to your run.

  • Fitness Tip: Go kayaking to get a taut stomach – it’s ideal because much of your rowing power comes from your core.

  • Fitness Tip: Squat-thrust push-ups get you in shape, working your upper body, core and lower body, and improve agility, strength and endurance all at once.

  • Fitness Tip: Don’t relax your abs as you lower your chest away from your knees during a crunch. You need to sustain the contraction on the way down.
