Your 2018 fitspo just got bumped up a ton of notches and it’s all for a good cause to boot!

London-based photographer Dominika Cuda has created what is possibly the most stunning calendar ever. A former biathlete herself, the artist brought together 18 super hot athletes from all over the world and asked them to strip for charity.

With proceeds to go to the One Year Fund, a wonderful initiative that aids young, underfunded sports hopefuls by providing footwear and general athletic gear, the calendar is really a passion project of Cuda’s. So much so in fact that the photographer funded the project entirely on her own!

The inspirational calendar is truly an empowering reminder of the force and strength of the human body and the fact that we really can do anything we set our minds to. The athletes’ bodies are obviously major goals and are an uplifting way to approach any fitspo you are aiming for this new year.

When it came to finding her models for this 12 months of fitness, Cuda insisted on sourcing people who shared a passion for the charity. From equestrian champs to cross-fitters, ballerinas, boxers, basketball players and beyond, the athletes depicted hail from Japan, England, the United States and beyond.

They all flew out to Poland for the shoot, which took place at various beautiful locations across the country.

The calendar/planner is a real homage to the human body. It is also total fitness goals, so will keep you happy and maybe even healthy all year round.
