How do you like to keep active? What activities do you enjoy the most?

I like to swim and walk long distances. I usually swim 4 times per week and walk long distances twice a week. I also like to walk for charity when the opportunity arises.

Why do you feel it is important to lead a physically active lifestyle?

I believe that keeping fit and active results in a healthy body and mind. I feel that keeping active gives you more energy, more focus and a positive outset. It can contribute to better mental health and emotional well-being.

How does the Active Hub platform support your physical movement?

The challenges available on the app are a great opportunity to meet people, be part of something big and worthwhile and just being able to see the activity you accomplished motivates you to do more. It also gives a person a sense of achievement.

How has participating in team events helped increase your engagement with other colleagues?

It has allowed me to create a team on the app involving other departments and therefore engage with colleagues that I may otherwise not see throughout the day.

Has having the Active Hub in place via your employer enabled you to lead a more active lifestyle?

Yes, it has motivated me to push myself harder and increased my fitness level. I have since joined an additional fitness group in the next county, which I am enjoying.

What is your current active goal?

I have been trying to lose weight recently. I have almost succeeded in achieving my target weight. I would like to lose another 3-5kg and I would also like to walk a 100km charity walk, so I am hoping to increase my fitness level to achieve this.

Good things happen when you push yourself.
