9 energised GoodGymers ran 5k to work our magic on the Green Gym community garden.
Perfect conditions brought yoga magnificent group for the evenings fitness action!
Heading off on our crowd avoiding detour taking in some central London back streets on our 2.5k loop. Reaching the Oasis nice and swiftly we grabbed the watering cans and headed to fill with water but we had a mechanical problem and no outside tap was available! Undeterred we improvised and filled the cans and buckets from the outside showers 🚿.
Amazing to see so much growing has been going on in the last month with courgettes, carrots, sunflowers blooming big time and probably most impressively a large grape vine with bunches of grapes everywhere.
With the watering going well we started the tidy up getting the beds and surroundings looking immaculate with some ninja sweeping!
After 25 action packed minutes we were off to increase the fitness!
A little rewarm over to Bedford Square where we Will had chosen some key body parts to work on!! We crushed 15 minutes of high intensity circuits, smashing out any number of lunge variation to go with some powerful plyometric squats to focus on the Glutes then finishing off the circuit by running down the pyramid with some High fiving partner press ups.
With our legs singing we kept a steady running flow back to base where we stretched out before heading off into the night!
Be great to see you next week when we visit St Andrews youth Club!!
Have a great week!

8 sweaty GoodGymers ran 7k and walked another 3k to deliver 700 leaflets to promote physical activities for Westminsters over 50's!
A great day to burn some energy off with 28 degrees on the thermometer and 1000 leaflets in the bag we got straight into action to knock out more than our minimum step count in 90 minutes of perpetual motion and conversation!!
Rocking 3.5k out to the North West of the borough we split into two groups and attacked up a seemingly endless road with so many residences per house it was hard to keep count. Getting into a great leap froging rhythm to maximum efficiency delivering we smashed out over half the leaflets delivering 2 at a time. The first was for Tai Chi at Paddington recreation centre and the other for the amazing Walking Football.
With time against us we turned and headed back South delivering at super speed back down a parallel road. Stuffing the letter boxes on the run until we run out of time and picked up the running pace on the 3.5k run back to the New Balance store.
Great work this evening and lovely to have you all along, be great to see you next week when we head to ** One Big Family** homeless charity to help make their food offering for the weekly homeless food run.
Have a great week
Smooth Running
