It's time to liven up your lunch!
The Workplace Challenge Active Lunch Challenge was launched today.
This year Workplace Challenge is inviting people to add bite size activities into their working day, ten minutes is all that is needed to a make a healthier, happier you!
Make 2017 your year to make a difference for the good of your health, you don't need to run a marathon or climb a mountain… making small changes to your daily routine can make all the difference.
We know that most of us spend more than 60% of our waking hours at work, and in January/February when the mornings and evenings are filled with darkness – getting out and being active can often be the last thing we want to do!
What
The Active Lunch Challenge is an 8-week national activity logging challenge taking place from the 4th January to the 28th February 2017, where you and your colleagues can log activities and earn activity points.
Workplaces across the country will be taking part in the challenge, logging their points to climb our national leaderboards, with a selection of great prizeson offer.
Bite size activities can be anything that gets your heart rate elevated, makes you feel a little bit warmer and gets your blood pumping! From a brisk walk in a midday mile, to a tussle over table tennis get logging your activity!
Why
The national challenge is a great way to make an active change to your daily routine. Rally the troops and get your workplace moving, enjoy some friendly rivalry competing against local workplaces, and more importantly logging your activity will help make your resolution a reality!
If you are keen to get your whole workplace involved… take a look at our Flexible Lunch Break manifesto, which provides evidence for your employer into the benefits of a healthy and active workplace.
