Mr C Wilkinson – has a passion for exercise and keeping fit, which he turned in to a career. His belief is that if we can get the body to move in the correct way it will enable us to function well, throughout any exercise or activity we carry out and it will help us get stronger, which means if we can strengthen our muscles then we can strengthen our bones, all of which will serve us well in later life. He believes this is of the highest importance, as we all want to live the best life we can for as long as we can in good health.
