Our second group fitness session tonight went down a treat. Eight Goodgym'ers came along to do something good and get fit at the same time.

Doing Good

The doing good bit was to pull that rubbish from the hedges, push back the bushes and poke out the rubbish the ‘bad’ folk have left behind... vodka bottles, plastic bags and a razor blade were our cutting finds tonight.

Getting Fit

Tonight’s fitness session was Round 2 of last weeks leg strength work with a few hills added in for my personal amusement... there’s a reason why I’m their favorite personal terrain-er!

Put your left leg in your left leg out...

We did an around the clock workout going anti clockwise on the left leg and clockwise on the right.

And as if that wasn’t bad enough after doing that on each leg we then repeated the around the clock with lunges... well done team for stepping up to the challenge... doesn't time fly when you are having fun?

No sloping off

Legs burning, it was now time for the hills.

Our challenge was to do x4 hill repeats stopping at the top to do x10 side jump jacks and x 10 back / forward jacks at the bottom.

And repeat ... but this time time with toes turners fancy footwork!

A nice strength building exercise ... you can always pin your slopes on getting a good workout with hills.

All jelly legged now we decided to gently jog back to the start from the 5km post

Well done team on another gluteus performance team.
