The Making Of.... Heaven's 8: A look at how eight of the fittest people in Hong Kong maintain their hot bods.

Sexy Summer Bodies, how they got them and how they keep them.

Hong Kong's fittest and healthiest bodies reveal how they get in swimsuit-ready shape after a calorific winter. From kick-boxing to dance, professional sports to pilates, they prove that in pursuit of the flattest abdominals, you can't do nominal work.

The Making of...

Photographer Olaf Mueller is featured in the shots - his original work is published in Style magazine. 

Some of the eight men and women from the list, including Nicolas (who literally went head over heels for this shoot), Kate, Icy Lee (who made the incredible body shapes at her Yogasala studio), Jonny (rugby player and... fitness machine!).

I took these snaps on my canon - thankfully, the pro shots are much, muuuuuuuuuch better. Francesca's missing from the pics as during the shoot, I was the person she was throwing the netball at. Kindly note I don't mention catching the ball. Anyhoo, bodies and babes in HK below!
