Try A Different Way To Travel To Work WINTER 2324
Reset your Steps Challenge 15th – 28th January 2024
Let’s start an evolution in 2024 giving the old New Year’s resolutions a miss this year (we never stick to them anyhow). Putting pressure on ourselves to dramatically change can be difficult. The very nature of the word evolution means ‘slow and steady’ so be kind to yourself by setting achievable and worthwhile goals. Don’t be too hard on yourself either – if it doesn’t work, just keep trying.
Ready, set, go!
Record your daily steps over the course of the first week (Mon 15th – Sun 21st) then challenge yourself in week two (Mon 22nd – Sun 28th) to increase your daily step count.
There’s no competing with anyone, it’s a race against yourself, set your own goals. Track steps using a fitness tracker, smart phone/watch or pedometer. Prizes to be won!
For further info & register for a participation pack contact Dianne.whyte@sustrans.org.uk no later than Sunday 14th January.
