Would you like a body like Mr Coleman?


As someone who spends 5 days a week in the Gym, I was fascinated by the article in todays Guardian Weekend magazine about the perfect body. I don't do weights, just row, abs work, cycling, running & yoga classes. I'm sad to say that you'd probably not guess that to look at me, but I can row 10km in under 41 minutes, which isn't too bad.

The picture to the left is Ronnie Coleman, winner of the Mr Olympia title in Las Vegas.

Looking at Mr Coleman's body, which is clearly impressive, I do ask myself whether I'd really want to be that shape even if I could? I actually preferred it when I was a skinny,wasted youth with a rock n roll look. That took no work at all !

Each to his own.
