Wells residents get active!

With the holidays just around the corner, and trying to make a personal effort to tone-up a bit for the bikini season (see last week) I am looking for inspiration from our local clubs to become ‘fit for life’ and if not that long, at least until the end of August!

Progress has been slow in this first week, I pulled my back lifting the world’s heaviest t.v. into my car so there hasn’t been any significant exercise in a few days but I am using every creative muscle I have to maintain a constant supply of varied salad-based meals without boring myself rigid.

My first plan is to get some biking over the levels (can’t be dealing with hills just yet) and as soon as I have gained some stamina I would hope to join local rides organised by Bike City, although looking at the photos in their gallery I think it might be some time before I could be strong enough?!
