Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Tim Dickson
So much to do in so little time was the theme for this evening. We headed over to Danson Youth Centre to help tidy up bushes, paths and litter for this Wednesdays 'Children's Day.
To kick the evening off we got a warm up under our belts followed by 'Workout Battle Ships'. The game involved two teams with a row of cones in the middle. On the whistle it was 10 high knees before running to the comes and pointing them towards the opposing team. When the clock runs out the team with the most cones facing then loses. The penalty for the loss was 3 burpees. We then played another round but this time it was 5 squat jumps in place of the high knees.......
NOW THOROUGHLY WARMED UP WE HEADED OFF TO THE DANSON YOUTH CENTRE
Now thoroughly warmed up we headed off to the Danson youth centre. Susan led the way with the quicker runners whilst i looked after and coached the slower runners. The beautiful thing about Goodgym is no one is ever left behind. We start as a team, and finish as a team.........
On arrival at the centre it was straight to work. We formed two teams. One litter picking, and one bush trimming and path sweeping. It was quite a big task and our team was a little low on numbers so everyone was mucking in to get this task done in the time we had. I shouldn't have worried!!!!!!
With everything on the task now completed we were really fortunate to have Chi with us for the evening. Chi is currently a Goodgym tourist with a goal of visiting all the London boroughs Goodgym sessions. He came to me and ask if he could do and ab session for us, who was i to refuse. Oh, the moaning and groaning was nothing but awesome. It may have been a five minute workout but boy we felt it. Thanks Chi for putting us through that. Don't hurry back (joking)..........
With the tools packed up if was time to get back to Crooklog. That always involves a dash back, last one gets the burpees (which no one ever does)...... Using that as our cool down it was again time to say bye for another week......
Thanks so much guys and gals for helping tonight. I know the Danson Youth Centre really appreciated it. until next week.........
Great location that looks after the well being of our children and local community
