STEP up this September and get your feet moving and hearts pumping for CHSF.
We always go the extra mile for our heart warriors and now were asking you, our business friends, to take on this great challenge to raise vital funds for our cause!
There are lots of ways you can take part in STEPtember…
Walk 10,000 steps every day for a week
Stuck at your desk all day? Challenge yourself to hit 10,000 steps every day for a week (…you could even do the whole month!)
Some ways you can cram the steps into your day…
- Opt for walking meetings with colleagues.
- Ditch the escalator and take the stairs.
- Take a 15 min turn around the block on your lunch break.
- Get off the bus a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way.
Climb a virtual mountain
Using your stairs at work or at home, climb to the summit of one of the worlds most famous mountains. All you need to do is pick your peak and get stepping.
WHERNSIDE 284 stair climbs, BEN NEVIS 517 stair climbs, MONT BLANC 1850 stair climbs, Mt KILIMANJARO 2267 stair climbs, Mt EVEREST 3403 stair climbs.
The approximate number of times you’d need to climb a flight of stairs is based on the average flight of stairs in the UK. You can calculate your stair climbs here.
“Walking has been proven to be good for your heart, helps with weight loss and improves your mental health so however you are choosing to step this STEPtember you are helping yourself, as well as CHSF.“
Step between offices
Does your workplace have multiple locations or offices in the region? Get to know your colleagues while you get stepping and walk the distance between each of your business locations.
If your sister offices are a tad further afield, calculate the steps between offices and set that as your target.
