Camden
30 Minute Core Workout with Ben

Join Camden's AA Ben, for what will be his last fitness session before he hands over the reins to the new Camden Area Activator at the end of the month!
There'll be a brief warmup, about 20-25 minutes of work in sets, and then a cooldown afterwards.
Zoom signup link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/79613573519?pwd=QTd3UzViOWNxL2VUS2NROG4rNTV4dz09
All you need is yourself, some clothes you don't mind getting sweaty in, an exercise mat and a water bottle.
See you there!
Happy running in the meantime,
Ben

Core to the floor! 30 minutes of core workout done.
What a way to kickstart the weekend - 30 minutes of core exercises to get the heartrate going.
Thanks to Livvy, CJ and Rashmi for getting themselves up and out of bed to come and workout with me. I hope you enjoyed yourselves - or at least got the heart pumping!
*We did 3 sets of exercises and rotated around them three times, doing 8 reps of each exercise instead of the normal 10 so they were almost over before they even started. *
Mountain climbers, plank walkouts, Russian twists - you name it, we probably did it.
Happy weekend everyone :)

GoodGym (not) parkrun - Week 1
With the January Challenge well under way, the GoodGym Area Activators discussed ways we can engage members across all areas, on some bigger training sessions.
One of our ideas was a weekly GoodGym (not) parkrun, to be hosted by a different area each week, but open to GoodGymers from all areas each week.
I happily volunteered GoodGym Norwich to host the inaugural GoodGym (not) parkrun, with a rather large helping hand from Melanie Young at GG Bristol for organising the results.
I've inlcuded any photos that were sent to me. If you'd like your photo added to this report, please email steven@goodgym.org.

GoodGym Camden's End of Year Quiz & Scavenger Hunt!

So it's finally time to kick 2020 out the door and look forward to better times; the vaccine, life to slowly restart again and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris move into the White House.
What better way to do that than an End of Year quiz and scavenger hunt with GG Camden?! There'll be music, there'll be little fitness challenges, there'll be trivia.
It's been a year. Let's celebrate the better moments together.
We'll kick off at 7:30 and it should wrap up by 9/9:30.
Would be lovely to see as many faces as possible and I hope to see you there! (You don't have to be a Camdener to join in the fun)
I'll email round the Zoom link a few days before.
Happy Christmas!
