📍Headingley Enterprise & Arts Centre LS6 3HN
Helping promote the service to elderly residents
Wed 27th Mar at 6:00pm
It's been an eventful day at GoodGym Leeds. Today, Helen and Adam generously gave up their time to head to the studio at Yorkshire Voices to do a live segment on the benefits of exercise. They did a great job explaining what we do at GoodGym, well done guys.
Tonight we met at Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre and had a 4.25Km run around Headingley. We then did a further promotional interview for Yorkshire Voices, where I mistakenly talked about the benefits of the Strata app & their partnership with GoodGym. Rachael then politely told me it was Strava, not Strata (who are actually the builders I bought my house from)! Luckily, the filmmakers can edit that out & Rachael then talked about Strava the fitness app :)
The footage will be shared soon!
We finished off with a Headingley litter pick.
Well done everyone, it was a bit different today!

In the words of Katie...toads, frogs, newts and guinea pigs ...what a great way to spend a Sunday morning! To top it off, the sun was shining & we had coffee & muffins for the workers.
3 GoodGymers, plus 2 honorary members finished the Beeston Primary School outdoor classroom project. We finished clearing the pond, creating a haven for wildlife, weeded the garden and moved the new outdoor furniture into place.
After saying hello to the resident guinea pigs, we spent a lot of time watching the frogs and toads in the pond.
We learned about the difference between frogs and toads. Frogs have thin, permeable skin that lets them absorb water and oxygen. A layer of mucus helps keep frogs moist and makes them feel slimy. On the other hand, toads have dry, thick skin. The thickened skin of their upper body helps them retain water so they can live in drier habitats.
Great work guys!

Tonight 7 GoodGymers ran up to Bedford Fields once again to transfer wheelbarrows full of soil from one part of the garden to another to create a large raised flower bed.
It was rather muddy after yet more rain but we don't mind getting a bit mucky at GoodGym Leeds!
It's also nice to know that in a couple of weeks, we'll no longer need our head torches on a Wednesday evening, which is always a good thing when you're doing outside work.
Good work tonight team!
