Week 1 – October 19-25

Active Living Fact; there are a lot of ways to reward yourself when exercising. Although there are a lot of intrinsic rewards for keeping physically active, like improved sleep, mood, and energy levels, sometimes we may need some extrinsic motivation as well. Using fitness apps to track your steps, and having them reward you with badges is one option. Another option is to build a reward into your new habit.

This week we encourage you to take a photograph of your favourite local café! Consider finding an active method of travel to reach the location, then consider grabbing a delicious snack. It’s a great way to reward yourself and support small businesses!
