    Ep 14 Charlie Watkins

    Darren sits down with fitness professional Charlie and rambles about fitnessing, how he contradicts himself when it comes to everything fitness, the asylum and girls football. this will count as part one of a couple of episodes the two plan to do. A bit about Charlie:  Charlie....also known as Crazee Charlie Roles: -Mum, Wife, Crazy Bird (in that order!) -Homeschool Teacher (Ofstead Rated, requires improvement) -Frustrated Fitpro.....the Duracell Bunny is grounded -Dabbling Sports Therapist Goals and Aspirations: ⁃ Give the gift of fitness for as long as I acceptably can (no one wants to be the gym dinosaur 🦖) Fitness changed me completely, it starts about reducing the size of your arse and finishes being the only thing that clears the negative crap in your mind 🤯 A lot of people just don’t get this, I’m a firm believer in exercise being the most under-utilised anti-depressant 💊 ⁃ Raise my kids to be nothing other that happy, decent humans that are able to deal with the world I brought them in to. Everything else is a bonus.....been a parent nearly 12 years and it’s looking good so far, I’m amazed I haven’t misplaced them somewhere by now 🤦‍♀️ ⁃ Continue to ignore the fact that I’ve had a disc removed from my c spine and crack on as usual for as long as I can possibly get away with. Forever thankful to our wonderful NHS for the speed and efficiency in which they dealt with a situation that could have left me working out of a wheelchair......the most crazy thing is that I had no idea the risk of was that high, just carried out tuck jumping and throwing weights around with a disc pressing into my spinal cord 😦 Random stuff: -My real name is Charlotte (regal innit) but only when I’ve been really bad 😂 -I LOVE to party 💃 🍸 I used to give myself some stick about this, thinking ‘should I be rocking up at 4am and getting up with the kids at 7am?!’. This lockdown lark has made me realise that behaving like a 20 year old every few weeks was so good for my mental health, a few hours off being the grown up. I just hope I’m not to old to go clubbing when they open back up 👵 -I’m not a ‘Ford’ girl, I grew up in Ludlow -I got engaged in The Grand Canyon whilst being serananded by a cowboy singing Ronan Keating (wtf?!)
