Jessica
Ennis-Hill has returned to training and is already counting down to
defending her Olympic heptathlon title in Brazil in 2016 following the
best part of a year away from competition.
Ennis-Hill gave birth to son Reggie in July and on Tuesday announced her preparations for Rio de Janeiro have begun.
'Back
in the gym ... building back into training,' she posted with an image
of herself on Instagram. 'Exciting and slightly scary!
'My journey to Rio starts now.'

Ennis-Hill
denied herself a virtually certain Commonwealth Games gold medal to
start a family but has her heart set on repeating her London dominance
of the multi-event in Rio.
The
28-year-old's 2012 gold came with a British and Commonwealth record
score of 6,955 points, with her event-closing 800m victory among the
Games most enduring highlights.
Ennis-Hill
was disappointed to miss the 2013 World Championships due to an
Achilles tendon injury but in January her personal life took precedence
over European Championships and Commonwealth Games.
