The three-time gold medal Olympic cyclist believes the secret to being fit and happy is simply a healthier lifestyle. His essential tips include: always eat breakfast, drink plenty of water, eat little and often and exercise regularly – all of which will improve how you feel and revolutionise your life.

Too much exercise too soon, or a quick fix (such as liposuction) are both no-go areas to achieving this. He believes that gradual training and hard work over time will ultimately bring the greatest satisfaction and will give you a sense of true achievement and accomplishment when the results start to show.
