Look Good This Summer

Charlie back in his cricket days...

Charlie Dagnall: Sports reporter and Saturday mid-morning presenter

Charlie Dagnall is a former Leicestershire cricketer. When he was playing cricket his job involved exercise on a daily basis and he was very fit and healthy.

Since he retired though he's spent more time sitting behind a microphone than running around a pitch.

So now he wants to drop some of those pounds and get back into shape.

Rupal Rajani: Lunchtime presenter

Rupal Rajani has a long-standing back injury.

For the past few years she's been unable to undertake any strenuous exercise because of her bad back, but now she's ready to get active again.

Bridget wants to lose three stone

Bridget Blair: Roving reporter

Bridget Blair is a busy woman.

As well as providing BBC Radio Leicester's Breakfast show with some of its finest material, she's got three children (and is a bit of a mother figure for the newsroom too!)

She's going on holiday later in the summer and wants to get fit so that she'll be confident in her swimwear on the beach.

The programme

Susie from Leicestershire Cricket Club will be training Charlie, Rupal and Bridget and giving them nutritional advice.

Every fortnight their progress will be assessed on Tony Wadsworth's mid-morning show (09:00-12:00 weekdays) and new challenges and targets will be set.

There'll also be radio diary entries and personal stories from the three BBC Radio Leicester stars on Breakfast (06:00-09:00), Rupal's lunchtime show (12:00-14:00) and Drive (16:00-19:00).

You can join in too!

There will also be an opportunity for you to join in with the challenge!

CSV Action will be providing special Healthy Living packs with all the information you'll need to get involved, as well as some great freebies.

If you'd like a Healthy Living pack please call 0116 201 6644.

There will be some sessions about getting fit for the summer in the BBC Leicester Open Centre too.
