Lovely numbers again this week. We started with a quick reminder of the 3 ways of doing Goodgym and then everyone got filled in on this week's task. We'd be helping out Build On Belief, a fantastic organisation who offers a range of socially based services for people who have, or have had alcohol and drug addiction issues; services run in the main by volunteers who have had problems themselves in the past.

Following a warm-up, we set off on the 2km to the task.

After sorting out a little bit of confusion when we first got there, our contact Kay arrived to show us through to the garden. She needed us to clear all the leaves and move the broken furniture and generally have a tidy up. We'll be back on Halloween to paint the garden furniture there.

With a whopping 14 of us it took, so no time at all to sweep and tidy the dinky garden. Well done to Jason for some excellent WRW - worm rescue work.

After a speedy tidy up we headed off to Shepherds Bush Green for some running. Getting everyone into pairs, including me. The pairs then ran in opposite directions around the park, high five'ing once they met and returning the same way.

After this we headed off to Brook Green. Stopping on the way for a 'squat shot' aka hold a squat whilst we get a group photo.

Once at Brook green we did a mishmash of core and general workouts including crunches, star jumps, planks, push ups, burps.

Social next week! See you then
