'Something I never thought id do, but here we are. 10 years ago I was a beer guzzling, kebab munching smoker. Having kids really made me knock all those bad habits on the head (excuse the pun), and I got heavily into exercise and moderation. I started off this year doing dry jan, and just carried on being sober and exercising. I did a lot of reformer pilates and got in the best shape of my life. I kept joking that I was gonna do a Men’s Health cover, then one day was just like ‘why not’. The article is out online today, where I chat more about moderation and balance, if youre interested have a read. Thanks to @alastairthomas_pt and Cherry for getting me into fitness and changing my lifestyle over the last 5 years, and thanks to Matt and everyone at @mkreformed_ for training me on the road this year and teaching me reformer. Time for a mince pie and a pint' - @edsheeran
