I’ve always fantasised about being a Merman, swimming in the deep ocean amidst colourful sea life, wearing a custom made merman’s tail and carrying a Trident à la Neptune.

Outdoor Boot Camp with Market Sports.
I’ve never been to Boot Camp before so I decided to join this class when I heard others talking about it at the gym. Tom McDaid, fitness manager at Market Sports conducted this class on a sunny afternoon last Wednesday. There were eight of us in the class and we started by jogging to a local park. The Boot Camp involved a full body workout. Perfect free style exercises! The start was fun and everyone was clearly enjoying themselves. As time flew by, the exercises got harder but you could tell that everyone was determined to do their best. I had to take a few breaks in between to catch my…
