Save the Date! - 3rd July - Olympic Torch, Loughborough

I am so excited and we haven't even started planning yet!... On Tuesday, I had a meeting with Anne Mumford at Loughborough University to discuss organising a mass participation fitness event to celebrate the Olympic Torch passing through Loughborough on July 3rd. Anne, had sent me an email last week to ask if I would be interested in lending my support to the event and I had rather excitedly telephoned her to tell her I had a similar plan in mind to hold a mass participation mini-trampoline Bounce-athon at the University on the exact same day and for the exact same reason. I couldn't believe the coincedence of it all (hence my over-ethusiastic phone call!).

The meeting went well and we have decided that yes, an event of some discription will take place in which I will lead a fitness activity of some form. The exact details will be discussed in more depth next month. In the mean time I have also applied to Guinness World Records for this event to turn in to a world record attempt for the most people bouncing on mini-trampolines at one time. I am aiming to have 200 people all on mini-trampolines at the same time (imagine that!) and perhaps even more people participating in the bouncing routine on the floor. Anne mentioned that she would be aiming to reach out to 2000 school children!! My Fitness 10,000 Challenge would be smashed! I can't wait to get planning!!

In other news, March is getting pretty booked up. I've taken on new Personal Training clients and I have the Loughborough Half at the end of the month. I have also booked 4 Bounce-athons (Hemington Primary, Robert Bakewell Primary, Oxley Primary and Sutton Bonington Primary) so they will be keeping me busy too!

I am aiming to have surpassed the 7000 mark by the end of the month which is great but I still need more people to help get fit ahead of the Olympics in July. Please do get in touch if your son or daughter's school (in the Loughborough area) would like to hold a school Bounce-athon. I have 3 or 4 schools that are in discussions with me so fingers crossed they all book.

Until next week, keep bouncing!
