On a sunny Monday evening we welcomed two newcomers to Goodgym Brent , a big hello to Catherine and Chris !

Todays task was a litter pick of Willesden on the way to our summer social picnic .

Tabitha, Chris and Catherine took the left side of the road , and Amy and Chris the right . There was plenty of litter to pick and we added a fitness twist by squatting while picking. Lee soon joined and we had bags full of litter by the time we reached Gladstone park.

At the park we met Samina , Maria and Karen who had helped with a pick of the park .

We stayed in the park for a social picnic, where we shared popcorn, biscuits , fruit and crisps ... and an onion

Thanks Everyone !

Claire T, GoodGym Brent's resident yoga teacher extraordinaire, got us loosened up with a brilliant "happy hips for runners" stretching session. Claire expertly guided us through a series of stretches (with variations for different level of flexibility) all designed to loosen and strengthen the muscles around your hips which is often where runners get 'niggles'. A great way to start the week and some handy stretches to go back to as a warm up/warm down on these cold winter days! Thanks Claire!
