Bruce Lee
Clearly
as a martial art fanatic Bruce Lee has to top my hero list. He dedicated his
life to creating and developing a system that incorporated aspects of many
martial arts systems into a free flowing, non-confirmative martial art known as
Jeet Kune Do, ‘the way of the intercepting fist’.
This allows students across
the globe to interpret Jeet Kune Do in their own way, as it is not tied up with
rules. Also his dedication to training is an inspiration to us all! Just look
at his physique!
Muhammed Ali
Like
any other boxer, Muhammad Ali is a huge inspiration, his dedication to
training, his performances in the boxing ring, the way he revolutionized
boxing, became the first 3 time world heavy weight champion and his second to
none charisma has safely ensured his name in the history books.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
The
finest bodybuilder of all time. Once in the Guinness Book of World Records for
having the perfect male physic.
He changed the way bodybuilders trained, ate
and thought.
He incorporated ballet into his routine, unheard of at the time.
He realised that bodybuilding isn't as simple as being as big as possible, it
is more of a science, correct nutrition at certain times, enough rest and
revolutionary training techniques.
Jessica Ennis
Our Olympic champion, winning many gold’s in multi-event disciplines. She has many world titles, often by beating the previous world record.
Ever passionate and dedicated to her sport. She also promotes athletics and healthy living to children.
Floyd Mayweather Jr
Surrounded by controversy, no one can deny the incredible natural ability of this true champion. His work ethic in the gym is second to none.
His total dedication of his life to boxing is inspirational.
Jack LaLane

proved that with dedication and knowledge the human body can perform incredible
