Top of the Pops
"Fit or What?"
Singing, dancing and generally leading the whirlwind life of a jet-set chartopper isn’t exactly easy on your average pop star. So it’s a good job those a1 lads keep themselves in tip top condition.
But it’s not like they’re gym-aholic, Mr. Motivator, buns of steel-types or anything. In fact it takes just One Hour a Day of gentle exercise to keep your bod in a pukka physical condition. If you can’t do a whole hour at once you can build up in five or ten minute bursts. Whether it’s a quick turn around the park on your beloved bike, board or blades or a swift splash in the local pool, exercise isn’t just great for the way you look but also the way you feel. And it’s a whole heap of fun to boot.
You don’t need a logo laden one piece Lycra number or exclusive membership to a snooty gym either. All you need is you, as the a1 lovelies demonstrated when they divulged to TOTP their ultimate guide to a superfit physique. Forget “No pain, no gain”. It’s just fun, fun, fun!
Ben – Step 1
“Always wear your comfiest clothes. They don’t have to be a certain sporty
brand or anything but just an outfit you can work up a bit of a sweat
in. They might get a bit wiffy though so don’t pick your fave glad rags
or anything.”
Paul – Step 2
“Dancing is a great way to keep in shape and have loads of fun at the
same time. Bung on your favorite tracks and work that bod!”
Christian – Step 3
“Even if you’re going out rollerblading, which might not seem too strenuous,
it’s important to have a good stretch first. In fact, whatever kind of
physical activity you choose to do, make sure you spend a few minutes
warming up, especially if you’re going out to the local park when it’s
a bit chilly outside.”
Mark – Step 4
