Our planned task tonight was cancelled as the task owner was ill so the focus was more on fitness than doing good, although good was done!

After speeches and warm up we spent a few minutes picking up litter from the New Steine where we do our weekly warm up. After quickly filling a carrier bag we set off to the seafront for the first instalment of the night’s action packed fitness fun, a one kilometre time trial. I gave myself a head start to ensure I was at the finish to give you your times which was just as well as there were some pretty impressive times, with a few of you coming in very close to the 4 minute mark. Remember your times so you can see how much you’ve improved when we do it again in a few weeks!

I’d planned for us to spend a few minutes picking up litter form the Peter Pan playground, but there wasn’t any! So we got on with our Hunt the Cone game where team White convincingly beat team Yellow but you were all winners as you all got to do loads of exercises to make you fitter and stronger!

After popping in to say hello to the fantastic Sussex Homeless Support Bus, who I hope we can help out with a task at some point, we set off for part 3 of our night of fitness fun! This included a technique focus on arm drive which you all put into practice excellently on the 5 ramp sprints. Although arms become less important as you slow down its still good to get into good habits and keep those elbows driving backwards to propel you forwards.

The final instalment of our fitness extravaganza was a 10 minute abs blast pinched straight from the Bodycoach so here it is if you fancy another go at home!

Next week, normal service will resume and we will be gardening at the almshouses at the bottom of Elm Grove in DAYLIGHT!!!!!
