London Lunge and Learn Tours

WHAT: When it comes to fitness trends it’s hard to keep up, from hula hooping to floating yoga, to personalised DNA fitness tests – there’s a plethora of bizarre body busting workouts out there to suit our ever-changing fitness needs, but now it doesn’t have to be all brawn and no brain. There’s a new kind of workout that’s hopping, thinking and lunging its way into London - testing the way we learn as well as the way we move.

Now busy Londoners can enhance not only their bodies but also their minds with London Lunge and Learn Tours: unique boot camp ‘city tours’ that incorporates exercises for both the brain and the body.

London Lunge and Learn Tours are being introduced by Arla Protein, the tasty dairy based brand that’s ideal for busy fitness lovers. The unique physical and mental boot camp is being introduced to cater for an ever-growing multi-tasking generation who are looking for more from their workouts. The city-based boot camp will see participants not only sweat it out with strength, endurance and cardio exercises but also pick up interesting facts and knowledge along the route, with a series of mental tasks and memory games.

The city sight-seeing tour, which is being piloted in London this October, will be led by an expert personal trainer to put fitness lovers through their paces; lunging, squatting, running and jumping between some of London’s most famous (as well as lesser known) landmarks, whilst also exercising their brain power.

Starting at the Royal Exchange, the boot camp sight-seeing tours will take runners through the streets of the City of London, stopping at some of the city’s finest and most Instagrammable exercise hot spots. As they plank or crunch they’ll be quizzed on the city’s surroundings, learning quirky trivia and historical facts in the process.

The 5km tour is being launched by fitness influencer, Faya Nillson of Fitness on Toast and takes in sights such as the Sherlock phone box, St Paul’s Cathedral and Bow Churchyard.

At the end of the workout, participants will be treated to Arla Protein Pouches, a tasty, on the go yogurt pouch that’s packed with 20g of protein– a perfect after exercise snack.

Guests must consider themselves ‘moderately fit’ and are advised to wear active wear and trainers.

WHERE: London Lunge and Learn Tours start at the Royal Exchange and ends at Embankment and each session is one hour in length.
