Joined at the Skip
20 GoodGymers made their way 4km to help the Sharrow Community Forum in Sheffield.
- Monday, 26th of June 2017
- Led by Tom Mutton
20 TERRIFIC @GGSHEFF runners ran 5km to help Sharrow Community Forum lift, shift, weed and sweep an area that was overgrown and overcrowded so it can be used for the benefit of the community in the future!
Welcome to the Team
We welcomed 4 new runners to our @GGSHEFF squad this week:
Give em a cheer!
TheTask:
This weeks task was to clear debris and plant growth from the area behind the annexe at the Old Junior School (OJS) in to a skip, so that it is spick and span ready for visitors and new planters.
All items and plants were cleared, except those marked with red and white tape.
The skip was positioned a bit of a walk away from the annexe, by the OJS main door, as it couldn't be placed elsewhere, so items needed to be wheeled or carried.
I love a good tool. Kim Longbon, @GGSHEFF runner
Our tools for the job included a wheel barrow, trolley, gloves, brooms.
The @GGSHEFF team made quick work of the area clearing it in record time!
STOP, fitness time....
After dumping tools we had a quick round of SUICIDES to get our blood pumping before heading round to a nearby park for the following exercises:
Press up High Fives
Paired squat get ups
Squat Jumps
Box Jumps
Pistol Squats
It was a challenging fitness session this week with some new exercises to master and work on and some team work based skills to develop and practice. More of this in the future.
Next week we are off to Regather so don't delay, sign up today!
