Admittedly, when I first heard about ‘Jump into Fitness January’, I wasn’t the most excited. But now, nearing the end of January, I have realised that I’ve actually quite enjoyed it. We did a range of fitness tests, from never-ending planks, to the ‘Cooper Run’, to testing our (not so great) flexibility. It was not only extremely competitive, wanting to beat your friends and come first, but also very fun.

The teachers made it fun by not just doing stereotypical workouts, but instead testing us using a range of exercises. Some of them even joined in! Overall ‘Jump into Fitness January’ was a great success, enabling us to improve our fitness whilst also partaking in activities outside of the normal PE curriculum.
