29, London, The Splits Challenge

What is your age?

29

Where you do live?

Westerham

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

...see that anything is possible!

Why did you want to get involved in the campaign?

I want to support the Make Your Move campaign because I think it’s really important for people to be a healthy as possible, to get out there – to challenge themselves and to do something that is going to benefit them in the long term.

What are you hoping to gain from the challenge?

This challenge for me is really difficult. I think it’s more mental than physical. In my head I don’t think it’s possible but I’m trying to prove myself wrong.

Top 3 work out songs?

I like working out to my good friend, Marvin Humes’ workout mix tape.

When was the last time you did the splits?

I have never done the splits in my life. I didn’t think it’s possible, in fact I still don’t think it’s possible, but I’m willing to give it a go.

What is your motivational Mantra?

Practice makes perfect – keep practising!

3 words to describe how you feel about your Splits challenge?

Excited. (Slightly) doubtful, (but) motivated.
