In “BBX Heroes” we shine the spotlight on some of our awesome BBXers. Each time we ask the same set of 10 questions and let you tell everyone about your health and fitness journey in your own words, so that you can hopefully inspire others who may be struggling to deal with their own health and wellbeing issues, or who may just need a little bit of extra motivation as they work towards their own goals. Below, we are delighted to feature not one but two BBX Heroes – the awesome duo,
Lucy Johnson & Rob Howe!
**********
Q: When did you start with Bhangra Blaze/BBX?
We both started together in September 2021.
Q: Why did you join the class/platform?
Lucy really enjoyed doing bhangra previously and the class is very local to us. We also wanted an exercise class we would both do together and increase our fitness.
Q: How often do you do BBX Bhangra workouts?
Once a week.
Q: What difference has BBX made to you physically?
I think it pushes us to improve our strength and cardiovascular fitness by being distracted by music and being part of a class.
Q: What difference has BBX made to you mentally?
Makes us feel more positive as we are more active.
Q: What other types of exercise do you as well as the BBX workouts?
Lucy: I also do yoga and running and walking. Rob: I do some walking.
Q: Which is best – BBX On-demand workouts, Virtual Classes or Live Classes? …and why?
Live workouts as it’s more fun in person, but we did one livestream during covid19 and that was fun too.
Q: What do you like most about being a BBXer?
We liked being part of the BBX-ers who auditioned for (and took part in) the ceremonies for the commonwealth games! Its lovely being part of a positive fun group who enjoy what they do!
Q: What are your future health and fitness goals?
Lucy: I am aiming to get to being able to run 10 miles – now doing 8 or 9. Rob: To continue to do bhangra once/week and to find it easier to do!
Q: Would you be happy to recommend BBX to your family and friends?
Very much so! We already have done!
