The time for change

It’s said a change is as good as a rest – but in the pursuit of living a better life, I’d say stepping up is far more beneficial than lying down. This issue of Men’s Fitness has one theme running from the first page to the last, and it’s the importance of trying to do things differently. To do things better.

Inside we bring you an interview with Rudimental’s DJ Locksmith, fresh from a 30-day fat-loss challenge (p33). We put the spotlight on action hero Matt Damon, who’s rolled back the years to reprise his role as Jason Bourne (p46). And we’ve got an exclusive training feature with golf superstar Rory McIlroy, whose new-found love of lifting weights has driven his career to incredible heights (p68).

You’ll read a lot of instantly applicable training, nutrition and life tips from these men, who’ve put their reputations and bodies on the line to dominate the stage, the screen and the green.

But the beauty of change is that it’s all relative. For you to lead to a fitter, healthier and happier life, all it takes is small steps in the right direction. Start today and those little steps will soon make a big difference.
