RTÉ 2fm has teamed up with Operation Transformation for a new radio programme to be aired on 2fm each Saturday morning between 9-11am to coincide with the hit RTÉ One series.
Op Tran on 2fm with Nicky Byrne started on Saturday 10 January and continues for seven weeks.
The show joins forces with the nationwide Operation Transformation campaign to get Ireland healthier and fitter in 2015.
Fitness fan and ex-footballer Nicky Byrne encourages listeners to ‘get up and get out’ this January. and make this the year they finally change habits and lose weight.
Nicky Byrne says: “We’re giving listeners the opportunity to sign up to this year’s Operation Transformation 5K Challenge; you can follow the fitness plan and tune in to 2fm on Saturday mornings, 9-11am, for even more motivation and support. We’ll provide the soundtrack for you whether you want to walk, jog or run your way into 2015.”
The show taps into the weekly Operation Transformation events and activities taking place around the country as communities come together to change their attitudes to food and fitness.
Across the seven weeks, we talk to experts, get their advice and tips, and check in with listeners who are following the fitness plan.
On the final show on 21st February, Nicky will be cheering on the listeners in the Phoenix Park in Dublin and Blarney Castle as he joins the thousands who finally complete the 5K challenge.
And of course, as its 2fm, the home of great music, we bring you the best tunes to motivate you to walk, run, jog, dance and we’ve even created a hit list for your fitness plan.
