Teenagers are working it out

Arlene Harris looks at how the drive to get fit and ripped is encouraging young men to join Justin Bieber and Niall Horan in regular gym trips.

But he is not alone as the current line-up of young male stars — including One Direction’s Niall Horan — are often photographed on their way to or from a workout as they strive to achieve the ultimate six-pack.
