As a member of James' team, I would just like to say that I have really enjoyed the May fitness challenge and have found it a great source of inspiration to start using my body again in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways.

Having had a baby last year, I have had a break from excercise. However, I now feel ready to begin using my body again and start toning up all my wobbly bits (which, I have to say... seem to be a lot more wobbly post pregnancy!)

I must say that I actually joined the gym in April, not knowing that the May fitness challenge was in the offing. To have my work colleaugues join in and have incentives from Sussexsport has been great as it has really put the fun into the fitness.

I have discovered Zumba... which I LOVE! And tried my hand at many new things such as Trampolining, fencing, Ping Pong (I mean Table Tennis!) and Boxcercise. I have found classes that suit me and I will continue going to these classes throughout the year.

The best thing about the challenge in my view, is the way it has brought people together from all over the university. I have made friends in other departments that I would probably never have even spoken to if it wasn't for the challenge. It is funny to see their familiar faces at classes and great to find that everyone is really embracing the idea of trying something new.

Now the sun has come out... we were thinking it might be time for an outdoor activity such as Rounders or Frisbee. If any members from the May Fitness challenge would be interested in organising a departmental match then just let me or James know.

We have a week left before the challenge is over... thanks for all the inspiration SussexSport!
