The Friday freeze was definately on today, however, that didnt stop 6 Goodgymers from some Friday fitness drills and litter picking the bushes in Upton Court Park.

We started the day with a warm up at Upton Court Park, then a short run into Lascelles Park for the drills!

I'm no Sargent Major so these guys were lucky I decided two round of hops was enough (think I got carried away when I said 4 rounds!). From hops we went to skaters followed by hop together hop wide. We were hopping mad by the end! But that wasnt the end...nope, here come the strides!

Joseph was lucky as he joined us just in time to finish the drills and join the striding.

Six sets of 15 second strides in the basket ball courts was enough to finish us off, so off we jogged back to Upton to start the litter pick.

I can help

Said, newcomer Alex. I know Alex from school, so I wasnt going to turn down her hard working hands! with Lola in hand, we paired up and collected 3 bag fuls of rubbish. Sadly, there is still so much more that we could not access.

Great having you along Alex and well done team for coming out on a drizzly Friday!
