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

Running, usually every other day. Walking, every day during my lunchbreak if weather allows.

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

It is good for the head as well as the body and should serve you well in later life.

How does the Active Hub platform support your physical movement?

It gives me a way to track my activities and adds the challenges, which spur me on.

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

The first challenge was in May 2023, which was done in teams of four and got a bit of camaraderie going.

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

Yes, the first challenge came just as I was starting my fitness journey and helped me to keep it going.

What is your current active goal?

I'd like to lose another stone or two and be able to fit into all the band T-shirts that I have been buying in a smaller size.

The first Circle challenge came along just as I started my journey and in that year I lost almost 6 stone. Being able to track my runs / walks certainly helped keep me on track. Last year, due to various injuries / illnesses, I didn't lose any more weight but I didn't really put any on. Now I'm back on it and want to lose another stone or two, which the various challenges do help with.
