Gary has been working really hard for two weeks now and his friends at Greys Mallory Traffic base think its time he had a weekend off. He normally likes to have a proper rest and go fishing but all the rain this week has swollen the streams and rivers so instead Gary went Christmas shopping and has gone to the Gym too.

It is important for Police Officers to stay fit and strong, ready for duty and exercise also helps them to get rid of the stress of their very difficult job.

Gary is very small and has difficulty using many of the machines because his legs and arms are too short and the weights are very heavy but the people in the gym are very friendly and helpful and with the help of some other people in the gym he has been making himself stronger with what equipment he can use.

Gary says "Look after your body and your body will look after you!"
