This is absolutely terrifying
Workout for Water is a fundraising initiative in partnership between Les Mills and UNICEF, with the purpose of helping UNICEF complete the Lega and Yelam Gej multi-village solar-powered water systems in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia.
My challenge for this event is to complete every single class that Les Mills offers.
You may be wondering why that's even a big deal..."Jo goes to the gym all the time" you say..."that's not a challenge - it's just an excuse to do more exercise".
Trust me.
This is not my idea of fun.
And I truly do not want to do it.
I promise you - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING.
Which is exactly that point.
Why would you donate to me, even if for an amazing cause, if I'm doing something easy and fun?!
I know how to bowl a cricket ball and kick a soccer ball, but get me walking up on a step whilst simultaneously moving my arms in time to music and you've got yourself a comedy show. I'm outside my comfort zone just thinking about hip hoppin' and donkey kickin', so this is all going to be quite dramatic.
There are 20 classes I need to complete, and I will ensure proof of each is captured.
SO - if you would like to help me achieve my UPDATED GOAL (because we reached the original NZ$1000 target :D) of raising $1500 for UNICEF + watch my new career as a high intensity martial arts ballerina take off, please donate to my page.
Check out our team page - BODYEVERYTHING - for all the details of classes.
And if you're interested in joining in on the action, but don't have a Les Mills gym membership hit me up.

Well done on your challenge and for a great cause too. A few years ago I was part of a group at KingsWay school who raised money to go over and build with the locals 2 big water tanks for a school that had to bring in water daily for around 600 students. It truly transforms a community so well done on your challenge. Love the fact too that it’s not an easy challenge to do All ales Mills clssses
