14 DAYS TO GO!
14 days to go! We have the target of 140,000 steps and 336 hours to achieve them.
Over the next two weeks, let’s aim to try something new and finish the challenge with a wide range of movement and new experiences under our belts.
The 10,000 Step Challenge has been a great way to get the University of Newcastle staff and students moving. We hope you are noticing the benefits that movement provides not only for your physical but also your mental health.
A great way to improve your overall health and wellbeing is to nourish and fuel your body. The Forum’s very own Bek Nutter has put together a collection of nourishing recipes, full of satisfying goodness. Get your free copy of her recipe book HERE.
If you create a recipe from this freebie, inspire your peers or colleagues with your culinary skills by posting a photo and tagging @theforum.nusport and include #everystepcounts. Enjoy the last two weeks of the challenge. Movement is a privilege that we often take for granted.
It’s always important to remember…“It’s not where you start. It’s where you finish.” Zig Ziglar.
HERE ARE SOME ACTIVITIES TO KEEP YOU MOVING:
