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!

Smooth Running

Joel
