GOING FOR GOLD - BE INSPIRED TO GET FIT BY OUR OLYMPIC HEROES

GYMNASTICS

CALORIES BURNED AN HOUR TWO PACKETS OF SWEETS

Body benefits: You don’t need to be super bendy – or even own a leotard – to try gymnastics and get a full body workout that’s great for flexibility, core strength and balance. A University of Athens study found that because it’s a weight-bearing activity, gymnastics can help strengthen bones and joints, helping ward off conditions like osteoporosis.

Get involved: There are over 1,600 clubs across the UK. Use the club finder and advice on which form is for you at british-gymnastics.org.

TAEKWONDO

CALORIES BURNED AN HOUR A FRIED BREAKFAST

Body benefits: Not only does it make you look fierce, you’ll feel more confident on the streets at night knowing you can handle yourself better. Follow in the footsteps of medal-winning Brits to increase your flexibility and strength along with improved mental wellbeing. A US study found that martial arts boosted brain function too.

Get involved: Go for a taster session at a local club, see britishtaekwondo.org.uk.

BEACH VOLLEYBALL

CALORIES BURNED AN HOUR TWO SLICES OF PIZZA

Body benefits: Ideal for working your upper body strength and the core, it’s also brilliant for toning legs with all that resistance from the sand. This means it burns more calories than indoor volleyball – just remember the sports bra!

Get involved: It’s the perfect holiday workout. Simply grab a net, ball and some pals – then head to your local beach. Grass will do if you’re staying inland!
