What a stunning summer evening! It was made even better with 6 brilliant goodgymmers being out in Cowick Barton Playing Fields, picking litter and doing a fitness session! Great work everyone who took part!

This evening we had two groups of 6 GoodGymers going out at different times in St Thomas to do a litter pick and a fitness session. This was our second group which met in Cowick Barton playing fields at 6.15 pm, the summer evening still warm and beautiful!

We started of with a fitness session, 6 different exercises 3 times over, each time making the exercise a bit harder than the previous round. You guys totally smashed it! Well done team!

Best of it all was to let the chickens out after the very long lockdown!

After a safety briefing the group set off litter picking, covering all of Cowick Barton Park. In 45minutes the group filled 5 bin liners with rubbins! What a difference it makes when we work together like this! So lovely to hear all the chats and banter going on in the group as well!

It was totally awesome to be out getting fit whilst doing good with you guys again!

Next week we have 2 more community missions.The first mission is a heavy one, moving gravel in wheelbarrows, so that one will not have a fitness session linked to it as we will work hard enough at the task. The second one is litter-picking with a fitness session linked to it. Sign up here to join!. I can’t wait to have you along!
