Going Global???? One step at a time....
24/05/2010
The Global Corporate Challenge commenced on 20 May and there are 7 dedicated souls at SPM who have signed up for it. This is the second year that SPM have joined the challenge which aims at improving office workers health and fitness. It is claimed to be "the world’s largest and most exciting corporate health initiative".
Last year there were 60,000 participants from 55 countries. Each team consists of 7 people and has a target of a minimum of 10,000 steps every day. With an average office worker clocking up about 1/3 of this in a standard day its aimed at getting bums off seats and out pounding the pavement.
Team leader Tanya McNamara is keeping everyone enthusiastic and she is joined by Denise, Hill, Denise Orr, Michael Sobey, Sophie Paras, Tony Petersen and Jed McNamara. At present Jed is setting the standard with upwards of 20,000 steps some days - however, there are suspicions he may not know how to reset the pedometer.........
