Until recently I’d never fancied stepping into a boxing ring. It’s not because I don’t like getting hit (although I don’t) or because I have a glass jaw (although I do). It’s just that I’ve never had the right connection with the sport. But since following the advice in the boxing feature of the new issue of Men’s Fitness - out now - and embracing punchbag drills, I’ve seen big benefits from trying an entirely new approach to training. Even if thumping inanimate objects isn’t your thing, there’s a lot to gain by turning your hand to something new. Because for both training approaches and diet plans, familiarity breeds not only contempt but boredom and diminishing returns, despite your best efforts. Inside the new issue of Men's Fitness you’ll find new ways to push your body out of its comfort zone – which, after all, is the only way to improve how you look with your top off. There’s also advice on how to start thinking smarter, specifically on how you can un-train your brain’s bad habits to refocus your efforts on making those small but significant steps that will transform your everyday life and make your life’s dreams come closer to reality. There’s never been a better time to ring the changes. Enjoy the issue, Joe
