4 sports you should try

1. Mixed martial arts
There’s no doubt that MMA is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, and more and more woman are trying it now – all for different reasons. Icons like Ronda Rousey are making the sport really accessible for women, while its self-defence aspects are appealing for lots of us, too.

It’s also a great way to get into shape. ‘MMA is great because you use your whole body – there are so many different elements so it never gets boring,’ says UFC strawweight fighter Jojo Calderwood. ‘I also find MMA workouts de-stressing and it improves my focus in other parts of life. I also really hope that when girls tune into my fights and the TV show The Ultimate Fighter, they’ll see how empowering the sport can be for females.’
