Saturday 17th January saw the Walsall Active Youth team – blowing away those Christmas cobwebs, and kicking off the first of the Fun4Life Fundays of 2009! We arrived at Bloxwich Leisure Centre to see eager faces of previous clinic attendees, who were all keen to tell each other about their Christmases, and the doom of going back to school!

And then the fun began….After a quick change poolside – a massive hoard of ‘Fun4Lifers’ took to the water, to take on the huge inflatable obstacle course, and in some instances – our Fun4Life instructors. For an hour – smiles were beaming, and laughter was deafening…

After a quick change, and a serving of energy replenishing fruit – it was time to take on the FITZONE. The WAY team did well to keep up with the frantic spinning of legs on the bikes, the thudding of the punch bag, and the ‘up and down, forward and back’ movement of the resistance machines… Our Fun4Lifers were ‘in the zone’!!!

After two hours of fun-filled activity (yes – 2 hours!!), we refuelled and hydrated ourselves, whilst Jo handed out goody bags to all those involved. It was great to see everyone’s faces (even the red faces during exercise!) at the Funday, and it was good to catch up with parents too. Keep reading for our next event in April.
