Craven a task!

Aghh - the dreaded call... "sorry, we've had to cancel the task"

Fourteen awesome GoodGym folk came along to Hammermsmith Fitness and Squash Centre (well done for finding us Alice and Alice) despite the late cancellation of a task.

No task!

We decided that whilst we couldn't do any good tonight we would still get fit and with the help of local GGHF stalwart Jason, we cobbled a nice river run together and even managed to get some heart-pumping fitness in too!

With the chill drawing in we had the intro indoors, we welcomed Alice C and Alice I to GGHF for the first time and explained the plan. Jason, Will and George were going to be our guides tonight and they took us along to the river where we split into a 'slow group' and a 'faster slow group'! Having forgotten to do a headcount and intros we quickly did this before heading on our way!

Headcount

Once we had all assembled at Bishop's Park, our journey taking us along the Thames and past the River Cafe and Craven Cottage, myself, Justine and Jason engineered a fitness session. We split the group and whilst one group performed some exercises (squats, star-jumps, lunges and jump squats) the other group did a short out and back before taking on the exercises! This got everyone worked out and after we had a quick break where we discussed the various benefits of GoodGym outside of doing good and getting fit!

Squat, Star, Lunge...JUMP!

With everyone's breath back we headed back the way we had come! When we got back to base we had a quick stretch down, discussed the impending GoodGym social on Thursday and the HF social on the 24th and then headed home or to the pub!

Thanks everyone for getting involved, and apologies again for the lack of task. We're back to normal next week and painting! Sign up here!

Thanks - Pritesh
