Green Gym

Last week, one member of the WILD team spent the day with Cardiff's Green Gym, helping to turn a tract of wasteland into a lovely flower meadow.

Green Gyms are run by the BTCV and aim to get people active through outdoor work. Check out this month's edition of WILD for the full article...

This WILD member can now confirm that digging holes in stony ground is every bit as gruelling as a session with the weights. And as the site was on a particularly steep hill, extra calories were burnt by repeatedly traipsing up and down.

But working out in the fresh air and sunshine was heartening for both body and soul, and infinitely preferrably to gasping away on the treadmill while a real keeno whizzes along next to you...
