My work is doing a fitness challenge thing as a part of our United Way campaign, “Walk Across Canada”. We’re in teams of 10 across Canada and every 10 min of physcal activity per person counts for 5 km for our team. As much as the cynical part of me finds such things rather cheesy, I’m actually finding it to be a good motivator. It’s fun to be able to get into work and have to kind of dance down to the water cooler because I need one more minute to make the full 10 so it will count! (I’m known for being the bouncy one at work anyway, so this is not out of character.) If your workplaces are the type that you think would get into it, I would encourage something like this. A little friendly competition and a good balance between exercising on your own but knowing your coworkers are doing it too is proving to be a good motivator for me.
