00:00:15.789 --> 00:00:18.129
Often it’s hard to find the time to exercise

00:00:18.129 --> 00:00:20.011
when you have a full-time job.

00:00:20.011 --> 00:00:22.579
Lots of my friends belong to gyms,

00:00:22.579 --> 00:00:25.929
but I prefer to go running outside to keep fit.

00:00:25.929 --> 00:00:30.012
How about you? What do you do to keep fit?

00:00:30.352 --> 00:00:34.498

I do quite a few things actually. I go to the gym quite regularly,

00:00:34.648 --> 00:00:40.961
I go for runs, I’m also a little bit involved in the sport of rowing so I’m down there quite a bit,

00:00:40.961 --> 00:00:43.455
I actually coach rowing as well.

00:00:43.455 --> 00:00:45.645

I have three children and I work full-time

00:00:45.645 --> 00:00:47.489
and I don’t have a lot of time

00:00:47.489 --> 00:00:50.583
to do any extra organised exercise.

00:00:50.583 --> 00:00:53.673

The main thing I do is I practice yoga

00:00:53.673 --> 00:00:57.646
so that incorporates different positions as well as meditation

00:00:57.646 --> 00:00:59.812
and different breathing techniques.

00:00:59.812 --> 00:01:01.897

Usually I ride my bike like I’ve got here

00:01:01.897 --> 00:01:06.012
and I go to the gym more or less three to four times a week

00:01:06.012 --> 00:01:08.779
and I also watch what I eat.

00:01:08.779 --> 00:01:15.246

I dance and I do yoga and I just try to be as active as possible,

00:01:15.246 --> 00:01:16.361
enjoy nature also.

00:01:16.361 --> 00:01:21.299

I try and walk everywhere because I don’t really enjoy running.

00:01:21.299 --> 00:01:23.966

I have quite a hectic lifestyle as a musician,

00:01:23.966 --> 00:01:27.561
but I do try to keep fit, go to the gym, yoga classes,

00:01:27.561 --> 00:01:32.035
Pilates classes, sometimes running and generally keeping active.

00:01:32.035 --> 00:01:35.047

I’m a police officer, so I have quite an active job,

00:01:35.047 --> 00:01:40.352
I can spend eight to twelve hours doing foot patrol and walking round the streets of London,

00:01:40.352 --> 00:01:42.814
so I suppose that keeps me quite fit

00:01:44.429 --> 00:01:47.299

What other things would you like to do to keep fit?

00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:49.532

I’d love to get involved in some team sports,

00:01:49.532 --> 00:01:53.329
I really enjoy sort of the team aspect of sport, particularly,

00:01:53.329 --> 00:01:55.049
think I’d like to get into hockey.

00:01:55.049 --> 00:01:57.598

I’d quite like to learn how to play tennis properly.

00:01:57.598 --> 00:02:01.252
it’s probably one of the only sports that I’m interested in,

00:02:01.252 --> 00:02:03.807
it’s something I’d watch on TV.

00:02:03.807 --> 00:02:08.697

I’d like to run, but my legs are not running legs, so I prefer to cycle.

00:02:08.697 --> 00:02:10.847

I would like to learn to rock climb.

00:02:10.847 --> 00:02:13.647

I’d actually like to join a rowing club but unfortunately

00:02:13.647 --> 00:02:15.810
I don’t really have the time and it is a little bit expensive.

00:02:15.810 --> 00:02:18.684

Really enjoy getting out of London for the weekend and going sailing.

00:02:18.684 --> 00:02:21.931

When I was at university I got quite into swing dancing,

00:02:21.931 --> 00:02:25.597
which is very much like jive, 1940s jazz dancing.

00:02:25.597 --> 00:02:28.331
I’d quite like to take that up again because

00:02:28.331 --> 00:02:31.645
it’s an easy way of keeping fit and you meet a lot of people.

00:02:33.107 --> 00:02:36.531

Do you do anything that isn’t very healthy?

00:02:36.531 --> 00:02:39.083

I have a bit of a sweet tooth,

00:02:39.083 --> 00:02:44.164
I love desserts and I love to eat sweet things.

00:02:44.164 --> 00:02:47.080

I definitely drink too much coffee and I do like chocolate as well.

00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.246

Eating late is really bad for you so I try and avoid that as much as I can,

00:02:52.246 --> 00:02:54.081
although, it does happen quite regularly.

00:02:54.081 --> 00:02:57.918

I love chocolate and I probably eat too much of it.

00:02:57.918 --> 00:03:01.164

Because of my shift work I eat a lot of fast food,

00:03:01.164 --> 00:03:03.265
especially in the early hours of the morning.

00:03:03.265 --> 00:03:08.935

Gosh, I don’t know, I’m a vegetarian, I don’t smoke, I don’t drink caffeine.

00:03:08.935 --> 00:03:19.780

I eat far too many crisps and chocolate and biscuits and because I bake I also eat a lot of cake.
