Your genes were determined on the day of conception, and you can't change them. That makes you either tall or short, big boned or slim, blond or dark-haired... and there is nothing you can do about that. We all have to work with what we have - but through careful training routines, we can certainly improve things! That's the joy of training - and, as demonstrated by today's gallery, those improvements can be very satisfying. So let's all continue to improve with regular workouts and plenty of exercise... OK?  

Being fit, and having a particular body image, do not necessarily go hand in hand. For example: distance runner = very fit and skinny. Wrestler = muscle, strength and endurance. Genes, you can't do anything about - if your parents and ancestors are short, you're never going to grow tall.  The sport you want to participate in may dictate the training you need... and participation in it will do some of the work for you. But, for the body image of your dreams, if that is as important as health and fitness, then you're gonna have to put in a lot of effort. The results shown here will hopefully inspire you to do exactly that!
