I hope make your move will allow me to...

Regain my confidence after a bad knee injury and give me the kick and motivation to get fit again!

What is your motivation?

My biggest passion is Rugby. I played to a fairly reasonable standard up until my 20’s and then I discovered sitting in the pub with friends was more fun than recovering from being hit by a 20st prop!

After finishing playing rugby I went through that typical post university routine of eating, drinking, going out, watching TV, basically anything other than exercise! Then when I turned 30 I decided that it was time to put on a pair of trainers and get back some fitness!

I started to really enjoy myself running and then last year I injured my right knee badly. This saw me with my leg up for 3 months waiting for the swelling to come down before I could have knee reconstruction surgery. I eventually had the operation, and after 9 months of physiotherapy I was given the all clear to run again. As you can imaging after the best part of a year without any exercise the burning desire to get out and run hasn’t quite been there! I think Make Your Move might be just the kick start I need.

Top 3 work out songs?

1. Two Steps from Hell by Heart of Courage – Epic music to start a workout!
2. Run boy run by Woodkid – When I hear it I feellike I am being chased so it pushes me harder.
3. Stop the Rock by Apollo 440 – it gives you that edge to push harder just when you’re flagging.

Give us 3 words to describe how you feel about your dance challenge?

Anticipation. Excited. Focused.
