Expedition Fitness Diaries

It's 4 days since explorer Sarah started her quest to get her body moving, and feeling fitter and healthier, in preparation for a 3000 mile row around Britain, 18 months from now. How is she getting on, and what is it like to live on an island?

After doing no exercise for over a year, explorer Sarah is keen to get her body moving, and the exercise habit back into her daily schedule. But can she keep the ball in the court?

After six months of physiotherapy for tennis elbow, acquired from mopping restaurant floors, explorer Sarah tries her hand at tennis for the first time. Will her tennis elbow survive, or could this be just the cure she needs?

Having previously been paralysed after developing Guillain Barre, a recent tennis elbow from mopping floors in a fast food restaurant, and a fortieth birthday, explorer Sarah is understandably anxious about starting back at fitness training. Never one to set the bar low, she undertakes to get fit enough over the next 12-18 months to undertake a 3000 mile row around the coast of Britain.
