Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the fabulous Mr Motivator Workout Challenge! You have helped us to raise over £6,000 collectively so far – that is the equivalent of funding for two whole days of research!
We have had an awesome time and thanks go to Mr Motivator himself for his support for the event.
There is still time to take advantage of the 10-day free trial of the Motivation Club where you will find exercise and diet tips plus lots of information about getting healthy and staying fit.
The 10-days of Mr Motivator videos will stay live for another week in case you want to extend your challenge.
We thank you so much for your support and for taking part, and if you have raised over £274 in your challenge, we will be sending you a medal to mark achievement very soon.
The workouts are all about variety and providing activity for all levels of fitness, no matter what your starting point. These include whole body workouts, Pilates, yoga, general fitness, warm-up and stretch, strength and toning, chair workouts, using weights and props at home.
