Activity Tracker - Everyday Active TEAM Challenge

Description

Join the new Everyday Active TEAM Challenge this April and let's move together.

Keeping active is great for our physical health and improving our mental wellbeing and doing it as a team can be especially rewarding. Anything goes for this challenge - walking, jogging, wheeling, gardening, exercise classes, traditional sports, swimming and more. The more you move, the more activity points you'll earn for your team. You don't have to be active with your team members but do support and encourage each other throughout the month.

To help you get started and have fun with this challenge, visit Everyday Active to discover your new favourite everyday activity. 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 moving, there is an overall Challenge Target of 1 MILLION activity points in April. Every activity you log and every move you make, will go towards this overall target so we're all in this together.

Teams will be entered into our randomly selected Challenge Prize Draw, so everyone in your team has a chance of being rewarded for their efforts.
