SOUTH DURHAM BUSINESSES STRIDE TO SUCCESS To coincide with National Walking Month in May, Local Motion organised a ‘10,000 Step Challenge’ with workers in South Durham. The three-week challenge involved workers from five businesses being challenged to walk the most number of steps. The aim was for 10,000 steps a day, as it’s thought that if you are walking 10,000 steps a day, you will probably be meeting your recommended 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. Ten thousand steps might sound like a lot but competitors started slow and built their way up by finding easy ways to fit in the extra steps. Each competitor was given a pedometer at the start of the challenge and a chart to track their progress. They were competing for gold, silver and bronze level standards. For bronze they needed to walk between 75,000 and 109,999 steps during the three week challenge, for silver they were required to rack up 110, 000 to 149,999 steps, and to reach the dizzying heights of gold standard they had to clock an impressive 150,000 steps or more. Prefere Resins, Sabre Rail, North East Laboratory Services, Evans Business Centre and Smurfit all had workers competing.
