Women's Health launches inaugural Body For Life campaign

Women's Health has launched its inaugural Body For Life campaign with 'skin touch' naked issue covers featuring Zoe Saldana.

In celebration of its inaugural Body For Life campaign Women's Health has created 9,000 'skin touch' covers for its Naked issue, which features 10 successful women including cover star Zoe Saldana, Kimberly Wyatt, Millie Mackintosh, Louise Hazel and Amanda Byram.

Women's Health has published the tactile 'skin touch' editions for its Naked September issue, available nationwide from 30 July. The special covers, featuring Hollywood beauty Zoe Saldana, simulate the natural touch and feel of human skin.

Women's Health has dedicated 21 pages to a celebration of women working on their Body For Life, ranging from the TV presenter who beat her diet demons and found health and happiness 2st heavier, to the size-16 supermodel who is also a sportswoman and the A-Lister who's embracing a thirty something body.

Each of the 10 naked women talk to Women's Health about their own Body For Life, and how they eat well and exercise to build a healthy body that will look after them in later life.

In addition, a four page Naked Workout guide provides readers with the opportunity to steal the training moves the women use to hone and tone their bodies. Celebrity personal trainer Steve Moyer reveals how Zoe Saldana sculpts her pert posterior, Tracey Anderson shows how to get the abs of a fitness icon and British Olympian Louis Hazel discloses how she keeps her legs lithe and lean.

The issue is supposed to embody the Women's Health attitude of a female body that has found its own balance of being healthy, fit and strong. A Body For Life isn't just about pure aesthetics - it's about building a body for the future - one that will protect against illness and injury and will look and feel great for years to come.

The Women's Health Body For Life campaign is supported by the wider Hearst Magazines UK initiative Hearst Empowering Women which brings together expertise and advice from across the entire Hearst portfolio, creating a practical resource designed to help every woman fulfil her potential.

Women's Health Editor Farrah Storr says, "Women's Health's #Bodyforlife campaign is all about celebrating bodies that not only look and feel strong and healthy today, but ones which will support women for the rest of their lives. We are delighted to launch the campaign in our inaugural Naked issue, in which some of the world's most famous bodies are not only showcased but talk candidly about their own body journeys."
