Momentum 🌱
Momentum is built through regular movement. March is about keeping activity part of your normal working week - no fresh start, no pressure to do more.
Your goal is simple: build a 7-day active streak by logging activity on seven days in a row. To count as an active day, complete at least one 20-minute activity. Once you’ve got a streak going, keep it rolling - and if it breaks, simply start again.
Complete a 7-day streak to unlock one entry into our March prize draw, with £100 worth of vouchers up for grabs. Complete a 14-day streak to earn a second prize draw entry. Keep the wheel turning and see how far steady movement can take you.
THE FUTURE
Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it.
Will Durant, American historian
Just a Walk in the Park
The clocks are springing forward - hello longer evenings! ☀️
That extra hour of daylight is your cue to get outside. Emerging research underscores the substantial benefits of spending just 10 minutes sitting or walking in natural environments, such as green spaces and urban parks. A short walk to a nearby green space after dinner isn't just a nice way to wind down - research shows time spent in a natural environment can lower blood pressure, boost your mood and reduce anxiety. Small habit, big impact.
It costs nothing, it counts towards your Active Score, and honestly, once you make it a habit you won't look back. Longer evenings - let's use them. 🌿🚶♀️
