One of the key messages of Vein Week is the importance of exercise and movement in preventing lower limb conditions. To help promote this message Mr Motivator, real name Derrick Evans MBE, has created an exercise video for the Leg Club event featuring a series of exercises, both seated and standing, for all ages and abilities. The fitness routine brings Mr Motivator’s unique sense of fun, energy and motivation to Vein Week and emphasises the importance of keeping the calf muscle pump working through movement.
