SofaDodger@WSNet

Be an Olympic 'SofaDodger' - get ready for Rio 2016!

With one hundred days to go to Rio, we teamed up with Sam Taylor to become 'SofaDodgers'. Sam's quest last year, despite not being at a fitness class for four years*, was to try 100 sports & fitness classes. WSNet & SofaDogers have joined forces to present:

The SofaDoger/WSNet 100 day Olympic Challenge
We'll be following each of her experiences every day for the next 100 days. So you can try some of those sports and get 'Rio-Ready'. To keep up to date on sports & fitness classes YOU can f
ollow @WSNet or @SofaDodgersUK on Twitter. And find #FemaleFreiendly activities near you on @ACTIVEMapX - #ThisGIRLCan!

One hundred sports 
You can read about each one - and how Sam, a self professed sofa-lover who prioritised wine over water and works full time with three children - has avoided a sedentary future by trying something different. From confronting her fear of heights whilst #CLIMBING and facing 100 kph #DODGEBALL, to getting injured at #CROQUET and trying not to wet herself on the #TRAMPOLINE Sam showed us what all of us could do - get off the sofa and get ready for Rio! 

One hundered days to go!!
We start with #NORDIC WALKING on Tuesday 26th and, if you make it, freshen up for the Olympic opening ceremony with #WAKEBOARDING on 4th August 2016. Scroll down for a full, day by day list of sports.

You can buy the book from 1st May - here www.sofadodger.co.uk - and get daily updates on Twitter here - @WSNet or @SofaDodgerUK

. . . and even try some of the sports Sam tried - find them (UK only) on:

ACTIVEMapX -  www.wsnet.co.uk/activemapx or

SofaDodger - www.sofadodger.co.uk/               
*Sam did consult her GP before 'getting off the sofa' - so should you!                                            (c) Sam Taylor 2016 - all rights recognised.
