Activity Tracker - Everyday Active Challenge 2025

Description

Jumpstart January with our new Everyday Active Challenge. Keeping active is not only good for our physical health but it's especially important during the winter months to help improve our mental wellbeing. Whether it's a walk to the shops, a jog around the block, a wheel in the park, a spot of gardening, cycling to/from work, an online exercise class, a game of walking football or a swim in your local pool - anything goes! The more you move, the more activity points you'll earn.

"Logging my daily activity makes a real difference to me. Keeping track of what I've done shows me that I am taking it seriously and am achieving something. It keeps me going when it feels difficult." Previous Challenge Participant

To take part in our new January Challenge, all you have to do is sign up to Kent's free Activity Tracker and start logging your everyday activities from 1 January 2025 - 31 January 2025.

To help you get started and have fun with the challenge, visit Everyday Active to discover your new favourite everyday activity this January. You'll find a wide range of activities for all fitness levels and abilities on offer, read inspiring stories and discover what's going on in your local community. You can also save any searches on Everyday Active and make a personal plan for the week to help you stay on track.

As an added incentive and to keep us all going, there is an overall Challenge Target of 1 MILLION activity points in January. Every activity you log and every point you earn, will go towards this overall target so we're all in this together!

You will also be entered into the Challenge Prize Draw so everyone is in with a chance of being rewarded for their efforts. Good Luck!
