Exeter shoppers get healthy with pedal power

Customers looking to get fit and healthy were treated to free smoothies, fruit and fun healthy activities at the Tesco Exeter Vale Extra store.

The store on the Exeter Vale Shopping Centre, Russell Way had brought in a smoothie bike for the occasion; once customers had chosen their ingredients they could then blend the perfect smoothie by using pedal power.

Store manager at the Tesco store, Ian Dyer said: “We know that in January a lot of our customers decide to become more active and to eat more healthily, and so we wanted to hold an activity in-store that would help to encourage and support our customers in making this change as well as giving them ideas on ways to do this.

“The smoothie bikes were great fun and customers were also given healthy recipe books of meals so that they could try at home. The healthy fun day created a fantastic atmosphere in-store and the smoothies were a big hit!

The Tesco Extra Exeter Vale store is open 24 hours Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
