Last week, courtesy of fellow fitness bloggers and uber babes Lu de Lux and Pig to Rig I was invited to the Serpentine in Hyde Park to take part in the launch event for Aquaphysical who in their words “enjoy using the natural fluidity of water to achieve flexibility, stability and strength” on the very first water based responsive exercise mat. When I received the invitation my fitness curiosity got the better of me and I instantly accepted, but as the date drew nearer and reports were growing that the launch date was going to be the hottest day in London for 10 years I could barely contain my excitement. I’ve often seen or heard about people who go swimming in the Serpentine (which runs through London’s gorgeous Hyde Park) and quite frankly always thought they must be mad to willingly throw themselves into freezing cold Thames water, but on Wednesday evening with the temperature still north of 30 degrees I couldn’t think of anything better.
