'All of us should get up and move our body!' Mr Motivator leads lively warm-up and walk at West Midlands park to encourage movement in everyday life
Mr Motivator led a lively warm-up and feel-good community walk at Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham today (Friday, March 20) to encourage more people to exercise as we head into spring.
The one and only Mr Motivator brought his trademark joy, colour and encouragement to Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham today.
He put a smile on the faces of everyone who took part - and of course, got everyone moving.
Mr Motivator has teamed up with SPAR for its new campaign encouraging people to take small steps to make a big difference to their everyday mood and wellbeing.
With longer days and more light on the way, SPAR is encouraging people to build movement into everyday life - starting with something as simple as a short walk to your local convenience store instead of driving to a supermarket.
Mr Motivator told the Express & Star: "The simple thing of walking is so important. And that’s why we are spearheading this whole project of encouraging people to walk to your local store, and don't just jump in the car and drive to the big supermarkets.
"Walk to your local store and support your local store - and think of the benefits you are going to get."
Mr Motivator led a lively warm-up which had everyone copying his fun and easy exercise moves to upbeat dance music.
He then led the dozens of people that attended the event around Cannon Hill Park for a short and accessible walk showing how “walking to your local SPAR store is the easiest step you can take".
Mr Motivator added: "What a beautiful day. It’s such a great day to be out and all of us should be encouraged to get up and move our body.
"That's why this partnership between SPAR and myself is quite important because it’s literally about stepping into spring and I think it’s so critical for all of us to recognise we’ve just been through four months of dark weather, and now the sun is shining and the flowers are out."
The first 200 participants at the event received goody bags, with the likes of energy bars and drinks hidden inside to encourage healthy lifestyles.
There was also a meet and greet for everyone to chat to Mr Motivator themselves.
It was a great day with the sun shining, people enjoying themselves, moving their bodies - and starting spring on a high.
