The Monash Health Walking Challenge is coming, and the 2019 Champions are calling for you to lace up your runners and get walking!
In 2019, the Walk Our Way team reached a mammoth total step score of 5,887,584. This year they are challenging you to beat it!
This is your chance to round up your co-workers and get out, get some fresh air, get moving and walk for a good cause. While the weather gets colder outside, the Walking Challenge is a great opportunity to be active throughout winter.
The Walk Our Way team say the key to the Challenge is to stay motivated on your daily goal, keep focused and maintain contact with your team members.
The Walking Challenge offers an abundance of benefits, from allowing you to form connections with your co-workers outside of work to giving you an outlet to clear your head during a busy day.
The Walk Our Way team found understanding within the team is integral to enjoyment and team participation. “This included understanding if one of us didn’t make the goal on a particular day, to give each other encouragement”, they said.
“We think a good team has an agreed goal to work towards, but most importantly, you must enjoy what you are doing and have fun doing it. And remember, a little bit of competition within the team doesn’t hurt!”
So, start rounding up your team of four! Talk to your colleagues, family and friends and get them on board. There will be some great prizes on offer throughout the challenge and participants will also be eligible for a free entry into the Monash Children’s Walk.
Stay tuned for details on how to register!
