SONIA Hewitt from Darton has exercised her way to a national fitness award.
A keen gymnast until injury forced her to quit in her early 20s, she tried badminton and running as a way of keeping fit but was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in her knee and for a while was unable to exercise at all.
Taking up the EAS Body-for LIFE challenge, she did weight training three days a week and low-impact cardio sessions without any knee pain.
