I love Tara Wood – she is the woman responsible for what is going on in this picture, the creator of WildFitness.http://wildfitness.com She thinks we have all forgotten how to move naturally and wants to return us to our animal agility. When I first met her I told her I didn’t run…within 24 hours not only did she have me running but also pushing a wheelbarrow full of logs – up an alp! She was at the time holding one of her wildfitness weeks in the French Alps, now you’ll find her in Crete…but best of all at home at Watamu beach on the Kenyan coasts. This is where WildFitness comes into its own with the ocean, the beach, the jungle and a nearby mangrove swamp where guests (victims) of all ages, sizes and strengths are put through their paces. But it’s not total hell, there is some gentle yoga, hours lazing on the beach and great massages to soothe aches and pains. She will then of course lecture you on what and how you eat – but then she knows what she’s talking about. But then she is probably the fittest person I know, and also the woman with the strongest body! There are occasional wild days in London parks if you want to get a taste of what it’s all about…but it is difficult to beat the sun, the air and the space of Watamu. The holiday gets your head working as well as your body
