Hmm, dont' give up the day job Gord
Fitbitch is all for extolling the virtues of hiring a personal trainer but it seems a bit rich of the Prime Minister Gordon Brown to have one. According to The Sun (www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1508859.ece) the Labour Prime Minister has hired personal trainer, Millie Dobie, to take him through his paces while he's holidaying in Southwold, Suffolk.
The £50-per hour trainer, has been been charged with getting Gordon fighting fit before his return to work (and lord knows he's going to need to be!) with woodland runs and resistance exercises. But if he's so aware of the benefits of fitness for himself, should he not be re-directing more government money into free fitness initiatives for those who can't afford their own personal fitness motivator?
It's estimated that around one third of children under 11 in the UK will be overweight or obese by 2010. And that's not to mention the 50% plus women and men who have already reached that condition. While the government is making strides to tackle childhood obesity, it's a different matter when it comes to adults. Caroline Flint, public health minister believes that people should be encouraged to 'change their lifestyles and take responsibility for their own health.' As Gordon Brown is now demonstrating, that is sometimes not so easy without a bit of help - and money.
Ooh, sorry I don't know what's happened this morning...Fitbitch has come over all political!
