If you're an athlete, then you already look like one - and if you're not an athlete, but want to look like one, then you better start training like one.
Okay, that's pretty simple, right? Nope.
What's complicated here is figuring out exactly what an athlete looks like and if it's even the desired look you're going for.
Most people seem to think that athletes have the best bodies, but a photo shoot and book of various Olympic-level athletes and weight lifters by Howard Schatz and Beverly Ornstein titled "The Athlete", has shown us that not all athletes look like "athletes" and some of them can look downright out of shape and couch potato-ish, even though they are the best in their sport.
So what's the point of this info? To let you know that you could be wasting precious time and efforts on a workout routine that is giving you a body you won't even like!
Now the question becomes, "do I want to look good, or perform well, at X?" These two results are not often related especially if your X is an endurance event.
