Today we filmed six workouts for Move the Masses, which basically involved people repeatedly doing exercise in the sunshine until it looked good enough to be on camera!

There were all sorts of sprints, squats, arms exercises and lunges, but everyone’s favourite was definitely the log commando roll!

GoodGym York took on the first water station of the Yorkshire Marathon and 10 Mile Race.

It was a fabulously fun morning as we unscrewed thousands of bottle tops and practised our 'lunge pass' to hand bottles of water to runners.

With over 7000 runners in the marathon and over 4000 in the 10 mile race, it was a pretty manic few hours but the GoodGym team (assisted by a few GG Sheffs!) were a slick operation.

Once all the runners were past us, it was a quick clean-up operation before a few of us ran across town to cheer everyone in at the bottom of that sneaky last climb.

A warm welcome to GoodGym Worthing

It was a delight to welcome you all to GoodGym tonight . Special mention goes to our new recruit Anna who joined us for her first ever GG task and group run.I was also really pleased to see Sue return for week 2 together with our trusty regulars Gill, Belinda Roisin, Beth, Michelle , Duncan and Nick. Please look out for a big GG cheer coming your way.

Pier pressure

Nick led the warm up to the pier and round it ! Check out your strava and see how you walked / ran on water tonight. Gill and Nick also paused to stop and have a photo oppportunity in the new stain glassed window on the pier.

Anchors away

We had a warm and incredibly happy welcome from the friends of Anchor Gardens Frieda , Jillie and Steve together with park ranger Keith , who , between the 4 of them organised the 'where and whens' of the task. We split the group into 3 groups of

• Weed prune and define the shrubs (Gill , Sue, Roisin and Anna )
• Shingle shovelers from the lorry (Nick and Belinda)
  
• Shingle shuttles in the wheelbarrow (Michelle , Duncan ,Beth )

Between them, my trusty group shifted and raked 1 ton of shingle . An epic achievement to feel very proud to be a part of.

Water and a wave

With a few photos ,some much appreciated water provided by Gillie and many expressions of thanks from the Friends of Anchor Gardens the group waved goodbye and headed off towards Brooklands . It was an out and back along the prom ,around the lake and finishing in Beach House grounds.

Buddy burpees

We finished the session with a fitness session comprising of some sprints together with a buddy pyramid circuit which included a combination of cardio and strength exercises. Duncan and Nick managed to win by the skin of their teeth . Enjoy the glory as they may not be so lucky next time :)
