Strictly star to lead National Fitness Day workout
Strictly Come Dancing star Darcey Bussell will lead a workout in Central London to kick-start National Fitness Day on Wednesday 27 September.
The former ballerina will be joined at Paddington Recreation Ground by hundreds of participants for a 7:30am dance fitness session called ‘Wake up and Work out’, based on her DDMIX training.
She will be joined by stars from the venue operator Everyone Active’s Sporting Champions programme, with Olympic silver medallist hurdler Colin Jackson and Olympic gold medallist Hockey forward Alex Danson taking part in the morning workout.
“Diverse Dance Mix and I are delighted to be a part of National Fitness Day again this year,” Bussell said. “We are passionate about getting all people moving through dance fitness and can’t wait to kick-start the day with DDMIX.”
Gym operators and physical activity providers across the UK will be opening their doors to offer a range of free taster sessions and gym passes on the day.
Steven Ward, ukactive chief executive, said: “National Fitness Day is a fantastic chance to spotlight physical activity and the role it plays in creating a healthier nation. These free events across the country provide a chance for everyone to experience the fun of fitness and carry forward healthy habits.”
ukactive has launched a website, which signposts to the events taking place around the country. Operators can register their events on the site, and users can search for activities from the end of August.
