The following is a selection of quotes from people who took part in the challenge...
“I now realise how little I do in the office, but I guess I probably already knew that. Now I look down at the pedometer and if it’s really low I go for a walk to the newsagency or something.”
“Sometimes I forget to put my pedometer on, so I’ve got into the habit of putting it on top of the clothes I want to wear each day. But unfortunately the days you forget it you probably do more.”
“Some days I feel really tired, but when I look down pedometer to see my steps and I’ve clocked up nearly 20,000 for the day I know why I'm tired.”
“I don’t think more steps will actually help me with my weight loss as I’m already averaging 11,000 per day. There’s going to have to be other lifestyle changes for me.”
“I was surprised how many steps I actually did. It wasn’t really that much of a struggle to get to 10,000 steps.”
“I enjoyed [the Challenge]. But I walk all the time anyway. Even so [the Challenge] did give me the enthusiasm to walk every day and to walk that little bit further also. I loved it.”
“I thought it was good at making you aware of how many steps you did or didn’t do particularly in a job where you sit all day.”
“It does make you more aware and if you’ve got a team member who walks alot of steps then you at least try to put on a decent show. Having a team is better than to do it on your own because then you have someone pushing you.”
“It didn’t really motivate me because I always walk.”
“It was great, 10,000 steps was just my normal day anyway, so it wasn’t hard.”
