Easy, right?

Easy, right?

Seeing as today is the last day of 2014, it won’t be long now until many of you begin the process of trying to shed the excess Christmas flab and getting fit all over again in 2015.

If you’re looking for role models and sources of inspiration to help you attain your fitness goals, look no further than Dwayne Johnson (AKA The Rock), whose Twitter account is a regular source of motivational pictures and messages that will help give you the kick up the arse you need.

The Rock’s latest post shows him warming up for a session by engaging in silverback swings with a kettlebell weighing 75lb (34kg). That’s a little under five and a half stone in old money.

As you do…

We should state that trying to replicate exactly what The Rock does straight away probably isn’t the best idea, but if that image doesn’t help provide some motivation when you’re hitting the gym in the New Year, we don’t know what will.

Beast.
