A Terry
Terry has been doing a paper round since he was twelve. “I needed some extra pocket money so I thought that would be the best way of getting some. It’s not easy, though, getting up in the cold, dark winter mornings and delivering papers in the pouring rain!” Terry has to cycle about ten kilometers every morning before he goes to school so he gets a lot of exercise that way. “I found it was tough on my legs at first but after a while they used to it. Sometimes I race against the other kids who are doing a paper round to see who’s going to finish first!” Terry will be sixteen next year and he’s decided to take a part-time job in a music shop instead of his paper round. “Obviously, that’s not going to keep me fit so I’m going to have to think of something else to do. May be I’ll go jogging with my dad!”
B Marie
Marie thought she didn’t need to get fit until she went to an aerobics and jazz dance display at her local sports centre. “I was really impressed by the way all those girls moved so fast and I really liked the funky music.” That was enough to make her try and find some aerobic classes near where she lived. “I made some enquiries at the local library and found out that there were aerobic classes twice a week at a nearby town and jazz dance classes every Saturday as well. I signed up immediately!” Marie is lucky in that her mum can take her to the classes in the week and she catches the bus on Saturdays for the dance classes, so travelling isn’t too expensive. She’s even discovered that she’s got a hidden talent for jazz dance! “Fortunately, I’ve always been fairly flexible so I’m able to do the dance steps pretty well. I’m lucky in that I’ve got an amazing dance partner in my cousin Steve!”
C Natalie
“My passion is animals, not keeping fit,” Natalie told us. However, her love of dogs has helped her to keep in shape in recent months. She told us how it all started: “I’ve wanted a dog ever since I was very young but my father’s allergic to cats and dogs so we can’t have one in the house. One day, I saw an elderly neighbour out with her dog and basically, the dog was taking her for a walk rather than the other way round! I told Mum and she suggested that I should offer to take the dog for a walk. I jumped at the suggestion and I have never changed my mind since!” Rex, the dog, now gets a good walk every day over the fields at the back of Natalie’s house. The old lady is a pensioner so she doesn’t have much spare money. She does give Natalie a little bit every week, though, since she knows that Rex is grateful for all the walks and attention he’s getting!
D Alan
Alan is swimming champion of his school and a member of the junior national team. “My way of keeping fit is through swimming. I’ve never liked any other sport. My parents were keen for me to take up tennis but I just wasn’t interested.” He could swim the length of the swimming pool by the age of seven, which is quite unusual for a child of that age. Since then, Alan’s become a top swimmer and he travels around the country going to swimming galas and competitions. “I train five times a week and I watch my diet carefully,” he says. “If you are fit, you find everything in life easier: running for buses, helping with the heavy shopping, and even concentrating on your schoolwork. Fitness has to do with both the mind and the body!”

They have achieved amazing things so far, including an exhausting trek through the jungle and a freezing trip to the Arctic. At first some of them didn’t contribute much to the group, but now they are working as a team. In this week’s episode, Jack, who is recovering from an illness, has to encourage one member of the group to participate in the scariest challenge yet! Click on this link to see the video clips!
