Meanwhile in Westminster a group of GoodGymers planned to distribute flyers for an upcoming Christmas Fayre for St John Hospice

We were joined by one of our new trainers from Hackney who would be helping us with the session.

After a welcome and quick briefing we took to the streets and swiftly made our way to St Johns Wood where we would begin flyering.

Of course at Westminster things are never that easy.

On route we decided as always that it would be wise to a load of Activation drills to get that body ready for a nice run so off we went. Jumping Jacks, A kicks, B kicks, walking lunges, some skips and of course the most important, lots of smile all the way down to Baker Street. Some sprints down to Lisson grove, some ninja steps, can cans and finally some high knees and heal flicks.

WE WERE READY.

We split up into 3 or 4 groups and made sure all houses and cars were give some of the St Johns Hospice love.

Hopefully people will attend the fayre and help raise valuable money needed for them to continue their work as For the last 30 years, they have been providing high quality hospice care, free of charge, to those living in and around Central and North West London. Their services are underpinned by a respect for human dignity and care for the physical, psychosocial, spiritual and emotional needs of the total person, whatever their age, lifestyle, culture and spiritual belief. Our patients face a range of conditions, including cancer, respiratory disease, heart failure and HIV.

Now after we’d finished we still had to get back to our start point, so we split into 2 groups and headed back at different paces. Little did they know I knew a short cut which made sure both groups arrived near on simultaneously.

Thanks to everyone who attended, hopefully see you all next week.
