It's September and time for a reset as the kids go back to school and we think about our post-summer routine. As the days shorten, now is the ideal time to get sporty, to get active, to join groups and challenge ourselves so that we feel good as the seasons change. September is an ideal starting point, because we can harness that back-to-school energy.

And who better to encourage and inspire us than RTÉ sports broadcaster Jacqui Hurley, for whom sports and fitness are the main focus of her life and her family’s life?
