Annual Challenges

Feedback “Looking forward to the next one. Can I thank you for running

the scheme. It has been an eye opener as to how inactive I’ve been.”

“I’m still wearing my pedometer and gradually and effectively increasing my activity levels. It has been fantastic, thank you.”

“Interestingly I walk a lot more on the days that I’m at work compared with the days I’m at home with the kids so that has been a useful thing to find out. I also feel it is a really good motivator – it is nice to have a target to reach as an incentive.”
