FROM THE EDITOR It is with a huge sense of relief that most of us officially farewell winter; although spring so far has been just as wet, windy and wild (seriously – hailstorms?). None of this is exactly encouraging when it comes to getting outside to exercise. However, those truly committed to their sport just add a layer of thermals and guts it out; a great life lesson which can be applied to everything, including work and home life; not just sports. The ability to motivate and inspire others is a hugely valuable skill and this month we catch up with Sandro Mota, who does exactly that. His passion for living a healthy active life is inspiring many others to do the same. We also profile some of the talented and driven young athletes making their mark on the world stage in BMX and share how you and your family can get involved in the sport. <strong>September</strong> is also a great month for a health WOF. With Blue <strong>September</strong> (prostate health), Breathe Better <strong>September</strong> (asthma and respiratory awareness) and Steptember (take 10,000 steps a day) all raising the profile of the importance of health and wellbeing, it’s an ideal time to consider changing some of your daily habits. If you’re looking for a short term goal, check out our guide to training for Hamilton’s iconic Round the Bridges (November 19) and also some advice around post-partum recovery and exercising with chronic illness. Here’s to some better spring weather and the opportunity to try exciting new adventures and activities.
