Mental Health Awareness Challenge- How did we do?.

1 minutes

What started off as a solo journey to 300,000 steps to improve my own wellbeing and mental health, quickly evolved into a lovely bunch of team members embarking on the journey with me.

Going from being unintentionally sedentary to a surprise burst of energy was less than calming in the first few days of the challenge.  Here’s how it went:

Day 1: 6am walk. 30 mins yoga. 30 mins Zumba. Long evening walk. 

Day 2: What the hell have I done? Why do I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus?! 

Day 3: I feel a little more alive

Day 4: Let’s do this! 

Having a goal of 300,000 steps to work to and a bit of healthy competition between the team was a definite booster.

So…let’s talk stats!

I managed to walk 317,796 steps in June and the team walked a combined total of 1,865,593 steps for the month, with a few carrying on into July and beyond.
