9 GoodGym Summer Runners ventured out onto the Westminster streets to deliver 450 leaflets for a Bone health fitness class for the over 55’s!
Great to have everyone along this evening!! Big shout out to the new and nearly new GoodGymers!! Hope you enjoyed your maiden Westminster voyage!!
This week we were helping Open Age who aim to combat isolation and inactivity in the over 55’s. We were delivering leaflets to promote a heavily subsidised 16 week class to improve bone health.
Running 2k up to Marylebone and get straight into action finding residential streets very close to the Seymour Street leisure centre where the class will be taking place.
Getting into a good delivering grove we managed to post 450 leaflets in 40 minutes!! With 7 minutes to spare we added a little body weight fitness fun to the party and crushed some tough strength inducing exercises to balance out the endurance fun.
With just enough time for a Regents Park route back to base with 5k under our belts for the evening!!
Thanks for coming along and hope you enjoyed yourselves! Look forward to seeing you next week for our visit to One Big Family Homeless charity in Victoria.
Enjoy
Joel
