Get the world moving

[annedonnelly]

Has anyone else signed up for this Global Corporate Challenge? I've signed up for one of the teams at work - just out of interest really, I don't intended to do much more exercise than I normally do.

I'm pleased to find that on the first day my steps came out as over 18,000 - they suggest aiming for 10,000 per day

For anyone who doesn't know it's a scheme where employers encourage their staff to get/stay fit and healthy.

How do you measure steps?

Just give everyone a large laxative dose. That should get the world moving.

You can get a cheap pedometer for a few pounds 26x, if you assume you do 2000 steps in a mile [as few people would have a relaxed 3 foot stride], that's five miles of walking a day.

A plate of pies at 5 miles will do the same for someone of this parish

How do you measure steps?

Quite a few devices have step measurers in them. iPods and Samsung Galaxy 5s do for starters.

They give you a pedometer as part of the scheme. Actually two so you've no excuse if you lose one
