1. Midday Mile

Midday Mile - get involved

This Wednesday 20^th May at 12noon, businesses across the country are being invited to walk, jog, cycle, run or even kayak one mile for the first national Workplace Challenge Midday Mile.

A fantastic opportunity to not only rally the troops in the office to get up off their swivel chairs and stretch their legs, but also an opportunity to support our charity partner, the British Heart Foundation.

Here are five ways you can make the most of the Midday Mile.

2. Get your boss on board

Take the pledge

All throughout Workplace Health Week we're urging your employer's to make a commitment to taking Workplace Health seriously. Ask you boss to get on board by signing up to Workplace Challenge and taking our Workplace Health Pledge.

3. Make your personal pledge to workplace health & inspire others!

Make your personal pledge

Make your own personal pledge to look after your workplace health – what small change can you make to add activity in and around your working day? Perhaps take the stairs instead of the lift, join a local netball league or perhaps beat the boss on the boardroom table at instant ping (table tennis).

Download your personal pledge card, write down what you're planning to do, then share your pledge onto our Facebook page or tweet us via @WorkplaceChall using #WorkHealth2015. Your pledge might inspire others to take the step to get more active, research has shown that we are more likely to be active if it is seen as 'normal' and if our friends and peers are active too!

Keep it social

We look forward to following you on your journey towards a more active lifestyle, share your story with us:
