On a gloriously sunny Thursday in November, Wembley was glistening with excitement as GG Brent's newest recruits - The wonderful Women from Central Mosque Wembley prepared themselves for action.

Meeting the group just after their regular learning and prayer session was coach Ellie raring to go. Leading the way, a short distance down to 23rd Wembley Scout group to meet with Maria and the task at hand.

Upon arrival the instructions were given.... "Move the logs and hack the weeds!!!" No messing about, No problem!

Well, moving the logs was just the start, they weighed a ton!!! But we may as well have been deadlifting in the gym because some serious bending, lifting and teamwork ensued to get the challenge complete!!!! Lifting *Hauling, *Rolling *Pushing *Those logs big and small were no match for the team and within 20mins the job was done!!!**

With a 10minute interval of squats, lunges, appropriately named - trunk twists, stretches concluded the final section and they were off again; sweeping and clearing debris and pulling weeds.

After working up a sweat, before long the time was up and after a quick regroup and photo call (of course) the group were stretched and prepped for homeward bound.

For a first week's session that was a fantastic job all round. An amazing effort from the ladies and girl power all the way!

For the next 3 weeks we will be together and hopefully coming up with a more permanent approach after such a successful start!!

Until next week....

Do good. Feel good. Inspire.
