7 FEEL THE FLOATRIDE

8 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ROCK THY BODY Just go ahead and roll your eyes loudly at the first person who dares to tell you that summer bodies are made in winter. I promise it won t be me. If there s one thing I ve learnt as chief cheerleader of this fit squad, it s that everybody boasts a summer body so long as you feel it in your bones... And that s what this issue is all about a celebration of body confidence in all its multi-faceted glory. We started conceptualising the idea of a global naked issue close on a year ago, seeing it as an opportunity to celebrate women, yes, but also to calibrate how we feel about our naked selves. As a global collective of 20 editions, we conducted a survey, asking you everything we thought there would be to know about how you feel in the buff. The results of which appear from page 80 and they make for superinteresting reading, although nerdy disclaimer I do love a stat more than most. While, as South African women, most of us feel pretty damn confident about ourselves, naked or otherwise (kudos!) we rated the lowest in the entire bloody world when it came to rocking what yo mamma gave you in a bikini. Yes, naked, we re hella comfortable, but throw us into the public glare in nothing but a cossie and we re running for the nearest kaftan. With this in mind, we thought the fastest way to getting your groove back would be to hit you with a month of progressive fitness. As I write this, we re still in the throes of our staff fitness challenge, buuut I d totally sign up for 30 days of fitness if I wasn t actually supposed to be committed to three months of #WHGetsFit. And you can too it involves stretches of cardio, some bodyweight training, an easy-to-stick-to meal plan and key! results. Despite a heap of new leggings my way of tricking my brain into exercising when I m not really in the mood I am failing my staff challenge dismally this year. If it s any consolation (and it is for me), our cover star, Sofia Vergara another global first is as miffed at the idea of having to exercise regularly as the rest of us... She told us that she loathes knowing her PT session is coming up almost as much as she hates it when it s over because she knows she needs to do it again the next day. Sound familiar? At least you know you re not alone. That said, she is 45, smoking hot and married to Werewolf Joe, so it s probably worth tearing out the entire section of 30 Days To Fit, page 100, and getting cracking! DANIELLE Join us for the September Sit-Up Challenge! That s 50 situps a day, for every day of the month (you can divide them up throughout the day). Grab a friend and stay motivated!
