10 goodgym Elves made their way to St Mathews Big Local, running 2 miles where we found lots of selection box's and games. Team Goodgym Leicester sprung into action all taking on Elf roles, working hard wrapping listening to Christmas tunes. Huw organised the fastest wrapper challenge, the team were all super speedy with everyone's competitive spirit, well you know me now, thanks Huw.

Just like magic all the presents were wrapped. Time for another game, pass the fitness parcel, each layer had an exercise like crunches or jumping Jack's, then the person holding the present when the music stopped had to role the dice to see the forfeit, 90 seconds was very popular so was 20 reps. You all did amazing doing 90 secs of squats, weldone to our winner Mel she showed another Elf skill 'sharing is caring' with her winning chocolates.

On route back we did a speedy anti clockwise and clockwise on the track, Huw was chasing down a crown. Next time we will see if we can beat our times on the track. Weldone all we did so much with our brilliant turn out. Thank you so much to the 3 new members (names all begin with A coincidentally) Andy,Aruna andAmanda thank you goodgymers for making everyone feel so welcome and looking after each other, plus Jimmy our back marker, grand job.
