This evening we were invited to go and help out at CCP. Upon arrival all our contacts were busy in meetings, but we were lucky to meet Bismarck who promptly showed us the things that needed doing. Some painting and kitchen tidy up was on the cards, but we quickly realised that there wasn't enough work for all 9 of us. ...not to worry, Andrea and Ema teamed up to do some painting first...in the picture below it looks like Andrea is balancing on Ema's shoulders....there is a ladder there I swear! Aby and Ross took the kitchen challenge. Cleaning surfaces and any area they could reach! The others went outside with myself and we did some short circuits. 30 seconds of squats, lunges and star jumps. Then we rotated until we had all done each exercise. Then back inside we went for the swap over. Those painting and cleaning had their turn on the circuit and after that we swapped once more. The second round of circuits included planks, burpees and flamingo balances! I think we all need to work on our one leg balancing...some great form on the star jumps, lunges and planks though!! Well done The gang were great and they enjoyed the circuits, great way to improve our core and help with our running form! It was great to be back with the team and catch up with everyone. Next week our friends at Bournemouth Foodbank want us to go and help them sort through lots of food....an indoor job, so no excuse for you not to join us!!! Stay healthy and happy!
