Louise Hazel poses nude for 'Women's Health' magazine

Former British heptathlete Louise Hazel poses nude as part of a campaign to promote healthy bodies for women.

Former British heptathlete Louise Hazel has posed nude for Women's Health magazine's Body For Life campaign.

The campaign aims to encourage women to push to achieve a strong, healthy body that will protect them against illness and injury.

In an interview with the magazine, the 2010 Commonwealth champion said: "I've competed since I was 10 and trained full time, twice a day, six days a week from age 18. Now I'm no longer competing, that's down to five times a week, once a day.

"I can probably go for about 10 days without exercise before I start going out of my mind. Life is different when not training at a competitive level, I used to burn food off immediately.

"Nowadays, I'm more conscious about what I'm putting in. But my body still has a great muscle memory, if I don't train for a week, I can still snap back into shape. If you dedicate time to looking after your body, it will always pay you back."

The 28-year-old, who retired from competition last year, shared the image from her shoot on her Instagram page:

Former Pussycat Dolls singer Kimberley Wyatt, Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh and TV presenter Amanda Byram also feature in the campaign.
