I’m on a mission to find out what sort of exercise
really does keep us motivated to stay active and fit? Is it the exercise or the
motivator?
Over the next
few months, I'll be highlighting some of the health and wellbeing 'stars' in my
community and reporting back to you.
I hope that maybe you’ll join me and explore what’s on offer in your
area too?
It’s the year of
the London Olympics so what better motivation do we need to get fit?
Are you up for the challenge? Well, let’s get
motivated!

Go Fitness! This event was organized by
Kevin Matthews and Samantha Russell of Fitness For Your Future and was held in
my local town Enfield on Sunday 13th May. The day was designed to bring health enthusiasts and their
friends together to enjoy a variety of fitness classes.
Kindly invited by Kevin and Sam I thought
this would be an excellent fitness challenge. The timetable read Zumba, Body Combat, Total Tone, Body Attack
and Stretch. Just to test me a
little more I was given a MOVband to wear. The MOVband is a wrist worn perdometer/activity monitor
designed for kids and adults and FFF are currently the UK’s distributors. It’s
really easy to use and an exciting way to track your daily steps and movement
mileage.
It’s been a while since I hung up my
aerobic teacher boots in favour of the yoga mat but, wow, it didn’t take me
long to get back into the swing. The teachers were full of energy and kept us motivated throughout. Even now I can’t quite believe I took part in five back to back
sessions, clocked up 10 miles and still had energy later to take my kids out
for a bike ride!

I have since bought MOVbands (in funky
colours) for my family. My boys
love them and one day they clocked up 29 miles on the trampoline. Now that’s active!
I would thoroughly recommend taking part in
a Go Fitness Event because it's not just about getting fit, it’s about having fun, trying something new and
meeting likeminded people. Maybe I’ll
see you there next time?
