A COMMUNITY centre is to run a 30-day fitness challenge to raise money for charity.

Newton Hall Community Centre, in Newton Hall, Durham City, is staging a 30-Day Ab Challenge in aid of Heel and Toe, the Durham-based children’s charity.

Participants will be set an increasing number of sit ups, crunches, leg raises and planks to complete each day from mid-January onwards, with a break every fourth day.

Organisers say it will be a great way to shed pounds gained over Christmas and support a worthy cause.
