As we welcome the new year, and as many people make resolutions to be more active and get fit, the Rev Kate Bottley visits the beautiful Temple Newsam Estate in Leeds to explore the connections between faith and fitness.

Radzi Chinyanganya meets Paralympic gold medallist Kadeena Cox to hear how her deep faith has endured through tragedy and triumph. Kate gets her trainers on to join a group from Christian Runners UK, a nationwide fellowship of people who love to run and share their faith at the same time, and she tries to keep in step with a Leeds line dancing troupe who believe faith and keeping fit can be fun too. We also meet the remarkable Father Vlad, a priest in his eighties who has set himself an extraordinary walking challenge.

With hymns and songs celebrating the new life expressed in the Christian faith, including a very special performance from Andrea Bocelli.
