When it comes to health and wellness, it’s no secret that a plethora of social constructs, harmful ideology and the patriarchy has detrimental effects for both sexes. Harmful ‘lessons’ and thoughtless things people say to boys and young men such as ‘boys don’t cry’ and ‘be strong, you are a man’ are statements that’s boys and young men internalise and as such grow up to become men who believe these things.
This month we want to encourage all of Monochrome’s male readers to get off their bums and get back in shape. Summer is here, not around the corner, HERE sway! Exercising at home is hopefully, something you’ve been thinking about while sitting on the sofa waiting out this cold cold winter we are slowly coming out of.
Health and Fitness has become most people’s latest obsession and out of all the world’s trends and fads, this one is by far my most cherished! In fact people’s desire to nourish and nurture their physical being is more than a fad, it is a lifestyle for most, which is pretty amazing if you ask me.
As the saying goes “summer bodies are made in winter”. In case having a summer body isn’t your “all day err day” thing or it’s that recurring new year resolution that just slowly fades away as you approach the end of February: you still get a chance to jump back into it by hitting the gym as winter approaches. Surely winter is the best time as everyone starts to hibernate.
It’s the Health & Fitness issue, this is right where we feel at home so we thought what better way to celebrate this great issue than to gift Monochromes’ readers a free 7-day at home strength workout program. This is an even sweeter deal because it is completely equipment free; so no excuses! Grab your mat, water bottle and prepare to SWEAT!
