Alison's story
“I am looking forward to getting back to exercising regularly and feeling fitter. I am looking forward to trying some new classes, getting into the gym and maybe even swimming!”.
Alison has previously been involved in many activities which kept her active. She used to be heavily involved in playing a variety, including hockey, badminton, dance, and trampolining! Alongside this, she regularly enjoyed taking part in an Aerobics class.
However, working a varied, but mostly sedentary, job – from being at home, at a desk in an office or on occasion out in schools – Alison’s fitness routine has become less regular than it used to be. Naturally, the result of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a switch to regularly working from home. She says, “It is too easy to just sit and work, there is always work to do!”
Leading such a busy lifestyle has ultimately led to performing a balancing act of work and life, which has eaten into Alison’s ‘me time’ – something we all naturally need to lead a happy and healthy lifestyle.
So, she’s ready to take action. Alison is determined to put her own health and wellbeing higher up on her priority list, lose weight, build strength, and overall have fun exercising again!
Having not used the facilities at Romsey Rapids Sports Complex before, she is excited to begin taking a hold of her health.
“I am looking forward to getting back to exercising regularly and feeling fitter. I am looking forward to trying some new classes, getting into the gym and maybe even swimming!”
Her challenge for 2024 is to achieve a 2 stone weight lost by the end of the year. She’s hoping to achieve this by becoming more active on her work-from-home days, alongside Yoga and Pilates classes, as well as exercising to music to motivate her.
