I hope make your move will allow me to...

...get fit and healthy again. I have an office job which means I'm sat down for most of the day. I also want to show that life certainly does begin at 40 - I'm always up for a challenge and want to inspire other middle aged people to try new activities. Of course a nice toned beach body for my hols would be good too!

What is your motivational mantra?

I can and I will! I was never very ambitious in my younger years but as I've gotten older I seem to be making up for lost time. I am finding out that I can do things and I will do them, no matter what obstacles get in the way.

Top 3 work out songs?

  1. by and - it takes me back to when I used to do step aerobics. I still remember the routine and whenever I hear the song my arms can't help but do the moves.
  2. by - This reminds me of our holiday in Ibiza where all the holiday makers joined in the dance around the pool.
  3. by - A catchy song with a good beat and just hearing the words 'move your body' makes you want to do it!

Give us 3 words to describe how you feel about your dance challenge?

Excited. Hopeful. Motivated – no going back now!
