World class women athletes train to perfection

[Baby phat, and stunning sexy sistas: African American beauty]

Merlene Ottey striding out at the end of an Olympic 200 meters; Kara Goucher fighting for top spot in a competitive 10k; Serena Williams crushing an opponent with strength and grace; Emma Green arching her back over new heights; Chemmy Alcott speeding down the slopes. Brad Forbes adores female athletes. He loves their bodies and is in awe of their focus and commitment.

There is no such thing as THE perfect athlete's body. Each sport has its own physical demands. Serena Williams is perfectly built for the power tennis she plays. Shalane Flanagan, slim but incredibly strong, is born and built for long distance running.

The two shapes could not be more different, but both are ideal for the sports in which these two women compete and excel.

Readers who want to know how to build the perfect athlete's body should ask themselves which sport they're interested in. Do they want to look like a swimmer, a tennis player, a martial artist, a cyclist, a triathlete, or marathon runner?

Triathletes have bodies that most people regard as especially attractive. They are not seen as too slim, they carry a bit of bulk, and have plenty of leg and upper body muscle. In fact, they carry too much bulk to be world class long distance runners, but their bodies look good, that's for sure.

I can think of few sights more beautiful than Serena Williams' dominance on the tennis court. She moves with such power and assurance. Her body is as strong as any woman's body can be. Serena is pure athletic perfection. Even if I hated tennis, I would watch to study Serena in her tight-fitting cat suits and other daring outfits.

I am awestruck by the power in tiny Shalane Flanagan's body. She looks

as though a strong wind would knock her down, but she can speed along mile after mile without tiring. She is one of the the few truly world class American distance runners.

I am saddened by the fact that Dutch swimming star and world champion Inge de Bruijn has retired. She was magnificent in the water, beating opponents with superior technique and strength, as well as being a master of mind

games. De Bruijn, unlike so many athletes, could perform under pressure. She didn't keep her best times for training sessions and meaningless meets. The Olympics were de Bruijn's main stage.

Speaking of the Olympics, I can't keep my eyes of women sprinters in the 100 and 200 meters. If ever you want to see perfect legs and butts, watch those sprint stars prowling round their blocks as they prepare to race.

Swimmer Inge de Bruijn

I remember Merlene Ottey, one of the world all-time greats in the sprints and still going strong at nearly 50. Take heart all you oldies out there. Merlene is an inspiration to all of us as we reach the big Five-O.

With my love of sports and female athletes, I had to marry a track star. My wife is one of the best half marathon runners in her age group in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. If you have ever competed in a 10k, half marathon, or marathon in those states, chances are my wife will have raced past you, no matter whether you're a man or woman.

  Inge de Bruijn, said to have the perfect body

Kara Goucher, world class American distance runner

She runs an average of 70 miles a week, spread over six days with the seventh day as a rest day or devoted to cross training. 

She's in the gym doing circuit training and weights three times a week. Running takes care of your legs, but you need gym work and weights to strengthen your body core and tone your upper body.

Not enough amateur runners work on their upper bodies. They have superb, strong legs but are flabby from the waist up. If you want to be really good at long distance running, you have to train your entire body.

I, as an athlete's husband, get plenty of benefits. Not only do I have a training partner who can really push me on long runs, I have a focused and dedicated life partner.

Perhaps it's the serotonin boost that runners get, or perhaps it's the strict structure of training that builds focus and commitment, but I have never met anyone as good as my wife at defining life goals and meeting them. She defines big, long term goals, and along the way she has smaller goals which measure her progress. She trains incredibly wisely, always knowing when to ease off to avoid injury or over-training.

 

She probably would not want me to tell you this, but what the heck ... she's great in bed, too. There's something about daily training that boosts your sex drive and makes you a powerhouse in bed. I love it when my wife wraps her strong legs around me. I can feel her muscles and tendons gripping me like a vise. I can vouch for the fact that here is no better wife and woman than a dedicated athlete.
