Notes...
*Use household objects as weights, if you don’t have them. Water bottles, tins – whatever works
*Step run - use bottom step of stairs or back or front door step as your step
*Front raises – weights by your sides, core engaged, looking ahead – lift up and forward until parallel with your chest (knuckles face the ceiling) – 20 lifts or more if you can
*Skipping – if you can’t skip or you don’t have a rope, sprint on the spot!
*Renegade Row – in plank position on your hands, looking ahead, core engaged. Touch the opposite shoulder, holding position – do 30 taps
*Ab curls – no need to sit right up. Just curl up until your abs engage, hold for a couple of seconds and slowly down – do 30 curl ups
*Mountain Climbers – looking slightly ahead, core engaged – bring your knees forward one at a time
*Lateral raises – lighter weights, lift both arms together out to the side, keep core engaged – slow and controlled
*Boxer crunches – on your back with feet off the floor and knees bent. Elbow meets opposite knee. A gap between your chin and chest about the size of an apple.
*Jump Squats – jumping squat. Start in low squat position – engage core, jump and return to start position
*Reverse lunges – core engaged, do decent lunges rather than rushing them – try and get your knee close to the floor each time and push back up. Lateral – as low as you can go either side, small skip through the middle.
*Press ups – looking ahead, hands just wider than shoulder width, fingers facing forwards – can do them from your knees but try and get your nose close to the floor
*Squats – use a resistance band about an inch about your knees to increase the challenge. Push out on the band as you squat down. Squeeze glutes on the way back up.

£1752 raised for Martin House and 24,833 miles walked and run to get there!

20/2/2020

0 Comments

 
A group of us set ourselves a challenge during 2019 to run or walk an additional 1000 miles (that's on top of our usual daily steps - so an extra 3 miles per day all year!). We did this to try and raise some money for Martin House Children's Hospice and also to set our bodies a health and fitness challenge too. Many in the group found it really hard but they still did it and proved their resilience and many did many miles over their 1000 target. Everyone improved their health and we raised £1752 too. Thanks to all that took part and to all that supported.

1000 miles in 2019

17/10/2019

0 Comments

 
27 of us are completing a huge challenge this year, in support of Martin House Children's hospice in Boston Spa. Each person is either walking or running 1000 miles (on top of their usual daily mileage - so work steps etc don't count) during the year. This means walking or running 3 miles per day, every single day and this is on top of usual daily steps taken.
It's a challenge for us all, both time wise, weather wise and often organisationally. 
Update 1st October 18,882 miles have been done by the group.
Please do support us

Kielder Walking Challenge 2019

17/10/2019

 A group of thirteen of us spent three nights in the beauty of Kielder forest, in order to complete what is a gorgeous walking challenge for 2019 - to walk the circumference of Kielder Water (26.5 miles of beauty and blisters). During the weekend, alongside the challenge walk, I provided a juicing workshop on nutrition and we took part in another walk through Kielder Forest on the Sunday to stretch off our legs. Relaxation time was also enjoyed by all in the hot tubs provided in our lodges - fab group of people and fantastic challenge for all.
