The weather is getting warmer and there are lots of ways to sneak more steps into your day. Take the stairs, walk at lunch or on your coffee break, walk the dog, or take a few steps while meeting online or have a walking meeting in person. Above all, walk your way to a free team lunch!
10,000 Steps Challenge for Staff
May 1 – 31, 2023
Did you know that people who walk on a regular basis have increased muscle strength, higher energy levels and improved health and well-being? Walking helps reduce the risk of chronic disease and health professionals recommend walking at least 10,000 steps a day to achieve those health benefits. There are steps conversion tables available for those who prefer to bike or for individuals with physical challenges.
