HEADLINE: THE LEGGINGS THAT COMBAT CELLULITE”, DAILY MAIL,15/10/11- modeled in studio

· They are a fashion salvation for millions of women - and now leggings could do more than keep wobbly bits out of sight, by promising to make them vanish altogether.

· Makers of ‘Proskins Slim’ leggings say the compression fabric works in a similar way to high-tech sportswear, giving legs a steady, firm pressure which they claim improves blood flow.

HEADLINE: POLE DANCING FOR MEN – THE NEW FITNESS CRAZE!

· Ask any red-blooded male if they’ve ever considered pole dancing for fitness and they will think you are joking, but pole dancing for men had become the hottest new fitness craze, with classes springing up all over the place!

· One teacher says: “With the boys it’s less about being sexy and seductive, and more about learning the moves that require the most strength, like ‘the flag’ and climbing the pole. It’s actually really difficult to do those moves, so it’s mainly guys who are interested in improving their upper body and core strength that get involved.”

HEADLINE: FITNESS FANATICS SHOULD REACH FOR THE MUSTARD AND NOT SPINACH IF THEY WANT TO LOOK LIKE POPEYE

DAILY MAIL – 7/10/11

· Fitness fanatics looking to build muscle should consider reaching for the mustard, a study has found.
