What our 2022 Challenge participants had to say...
Since joining the challenge for the first time in 2021, starting tracking my activity was the first step in me accessing help to lose weight and get healthy. Since then I have lost almost 30kg's with the help of a dietician and GP. I am healthier, more active and have some control over my health now.
It becomes part of the daily mindset.
Our teams got quite competitive and that encouraged us to keep track of our steps and encourage each other. We had a casual walking group that took a 30min walk at lunch and that has continued after the challenge ended.
It has made me make more of a conscious effort to get up and walk around the workplace during the day as well as then making sure I went walking for exercise most evenings which has made me feel physically and mentally healthy.
It has brought a team together to motivate each other to keep active. It has helped me to step away from my desk and have a better balance of activity and sedentary behaviours.
Built rapport and relationships within the workplace, associated with people I didn't know previously and allowed for some friendly competition.
More aware of how much time I spend sitting and how easy it is to do a little bit regularly to build up my steps for the day. Great motivation to be a part of a Team.
