The secret is finding a goal that makes you take the leap. So this month is all about providing you the information neccessary to make your own version of fitness – your own dream – come true. We show you how to progress your sessions so that your results never plateau; how to recover like an athlete; and how to fuel every workout for your best performance. And the edition theme is made all the more appropriate given our 2017 Cover Model Comp Winner Grace Shelmerdine has achieved one of her own dreams (check out her AMRAP workout), and we welcome one of the fittest, most ambitious and most knowledgeable women we know, Alexa Towersey, as our WH&F head trainer (read her thoughts on fad diets). Whatever your mission, we hope our September edition helps, even just a little, in spiking your fitness confidence – or, better yet, in sparking just a little bit of fear.
