To help ensure everyone is sticking to their New Year keep-fit regime the London Eye is to stage a 30-minute lunchtime workout hosted by celebrity fitness instructor Mr Motivator.
Everyone is invited to pull on their leggings and sweatbands for a mass exercise session that takes place on Thursday, 22nd January at 12:30pm.
And for that extra motivation, all participants will receive a free pair of London Eye tickets so they can cool down afterwards while enjoying the panoramic views of London.
Having welcomed its 30 millionth visitor last year, the London Eye is in great shape. It's just had its annual check-up for 2009 and so is encouraging visitors to do the same.
Mr Motivator, aka Derrick Adams, is known for his stimulating fitness routines on GTMV during the 1990s. He has recently made a comeback, returning to GMTV as part of their keep-fit campaign and continuing his drive to promote health and fitness as a way of life.
The Jamaican-born fitness guru said: "It is great to be back in the UK and what a better place to get people on the right foot for the New Year, than at the London Eye. I will take participants through a 30-minute cardiovascular workout which will get the heart pumping and inspire people to get exercising in 2009.”
To join in, just turn up at Jubilee Gardens, the green adjacent to the London Eye, at 12:30pm.
