It is ideal for those looking to tackle a brand new sport and challenge.

And the company says that its Rooster potatoes are an excellent source of carbohydrates to fuel any workout and can be enjoyed pre or post workout session.

Michael Jarvis, head of marketing at Albert Bartlett, is thrilled with the offer.

“With many people entering the new year with a healthy mindset, the sports sessions are an excellent way to get fit and active in a fun and exciting way,” he said.

“We’ve tried to offer as wide a variety as possible so people can choose something totally up their street, whether that’s a sport they already enjoy or something completely different that they fancy taking up.

“The activities are suitable for families too and make for a great day out, particularly in January which can be tedious at the best of times.

“To take part, just pick up a promotional pack of Albert Bartlett Rooster potatoes to claim your free session.”

He adds: “Why not finish off your day with a healthy potato dish? It’s the best carbohydrate to fuel your workouts. It’s a win win.”

Some of the sports on offer in England are yoga, trampolining, tennis, rugby, martial arts, hockey, gymnastics, fitness, fencing, boxing, badminton, athletics, climbing and golf.
