Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Newcastle runner
Charlotte and I had a great squat and shoulder press session at the foodbank today! We spent two happy hours moving crates of tins and jars from the floor to the newly built shelves, then taking them back down and putting them back up again when we decided they could be in a better order! It was a real team effort getting the crates up to the top shelves, resulting in some scuffed knuckles! Having filled all the shelves in the first room we then moved onto a biceps workout and carried crates through to the other room where we stacked the shelves there, ready for packing into bags to be delivered. It was the perfect GoodGym session, getting a workout while helping out a fantastic charity! #GiveItPurpose
