If the sight of fit Olympians training for the 2012 London Olympics has inspired you to rev up your daily fitness regime, you're not alone.
Kesh Patel, research and development manager for leading fitness training provider Premier Training International, predicts that the London 2012 Olympics will spur thousands to make changes to their workouts.
"For decades, the Olympics have inspired many people in many different ways," Kesh Patel told HuffPost Lifestyle.
"For some, the spectator experience is enough to motivate a change in current lifestyle and health behaviours; for others, the sheer athleticism and aesthetic beauty of seeing the body being taken to the limits of human performance may inspire improvements in their own sporting activities."

'Celebrity Fit Club' nutritionist Dr Adam Carey, who has prepared athletes taking part on the 2012 Games, says he has seen a spike in people doing exercise just for fun.
"The Olympics will inspire not just the next generation of competitive athletes but also a huge number of adults into taking up recreational sport, which is just fantastic.

"We are seeing large numbers of middle aged men and women coming into triathlon events, which is fantastic, as well as taking up established sports like windsurfing or newer Olympic sports such as beach volley ball and kite surfing, which will be coming into the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro."
And it's not just physical benefits that you can reap...
"People often underestimate the psychological benefits that come with being inspired by such a great sporting event," explains Patel.
"The historical and cultural relevance of the Olympics can bring about an unconscious bonding with others. There's a great feel-good factor and satisfaction to be gained from seeing your team or country perform well.
"And as this year it's being held in London, this is likely to be a once in a lifetime experience that will continue to inspire everyone long after the Games have ended."
So if you’re bored of the gym and sick of Zumba classes, take inspiration from the London Games by introducing Olympian-inspired twists to your regime.
Anna Reich, Simple fitness expert and personal trainer, says: "The joy and rapture that the Olympians feel when they cross the finish line can be yours upon completing your first 5km, aerobics class or Bikram yoga session.
"As with the Olympic games, there are enough activities out there to choose from. See, no excuses!"
