How fit are you?
Fit enough to appear on the cover of this fine magazine? Here’s your chance to find out. At the Fitness and Health Expo in Sydney in April, we're holding the inaugural Men's Fitness Australia’s Fit Bloke Challenge. The winner will score more than $3000 in prizes. But the best bit is that you will appear on the cover of Men's Fitness, have bragging rights for a year – and a story to tell for the rest of your life.
What’s the Challenge?
At this year’s Fitness and Health Expo in Darling Harbour in Sydney, we're running a fitness competition comprising several gruelling physical tests. There will be more than 50 competitors competing for the title of Australia’s Fittest Man. The competition will be held inside the Expo over the three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) on the main stage. It will culminate with a grand final on Sunday 17 April. You may be required on all three days of the weekend.
What are the Exercises?
We’re not going to tell you. Otherwise, you could train specifically for the exercises over the next four months. What we will tell you is that they will test your speed, strength, stamina, endurance and mental toughness and they're against the clock. Here’s a hint: if you read this magazine enough, you’ll know we advocate things such as pull-ups, interval training and push-ups. One thing’s for sure, it won’t be easy. And you'll be competing head-to-head on stage in front of a live audience. There are no weight categories,
but you do have to be over 18 and, sorry girls, a male.
What then?
If you’re selected to compete, someone from Men’s Fitness will be in touch before the event. You’ll be sent a starter’s pack with more information about the challenge, tickets to the Expo and a contestant’s shirt that must be worn during the event. Turn up on the day and have a crack.
