The Wacky Run

Time to get nostalgic with the Wacky Run! I'm sure a lot of us can remember this fun cartoon and some of the crazy characters such as Dick Dastardly and Muttley, Penelope Pitstop and The Ant Hill Mob.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
