NEWS – Get Active When I originally asked my friend Patricia to host this series, she was in fits of laughter. Why would anyone want to watch an ‘average Jo-Anna’ trying out a bunch of different sports? She got used to the idea though and I convinced her to come over for 3 weeks on a ‘Get Active’ challenge – trying out 15 different sports. The idea was that if she, a complete sporting novas could take on the challenge; put aside her reservation and insecurities, it would encourage other people to do the same. The other bonus to this whole situation was that Patricia has extremely good viewing potential as she is a real character and people find her fun and endearing. Bless her – she gave everything her best shot. Despite being in a room full of toned up ballerinas or adventuring up a rock face, she gave it a good go! People from a range of different sporting venues and clubs gave us such a warm reception and were happy to be filmed – it was a pleasure and I’m sure Dragana would tell you that it was gold dust to be able to go in and film such a wide range of activities. I’ve now completed the edit of ‘Get Active’ and all 15 episodes are on the web and will soon be available on DVD. ‘Get Active’ was made as part of a health initiative to encourage people who are not inclined to exercise to get out there and try something new. So get out there! Give it a go!
