On the Road Again!

This is an app that the NHS and health authorities promote for active life. The idea is to do a minimum of 10 minutes of brisk walking a day. It will help you lose weight and be fitter. Today 46 mins... We did it at work last summer and had teams across all departments of the Council.  I gave up as when walking with some others the app registered about a quarter of everyone else's activity. Even when walking side by side for two miles.

My employer, Islington Council ,  has signed up to Active 10.  It will run for six weeks and the idea is that we will use an app on our smartphones to measure the amount of walking we do and it calculates the amount of "brisk" walking we are doing. It's what caring responsible employers do.   The plan is that everyone should do 30 minutes of brisk walking a day, at least, and the app expects you to do this in three 10 minutes slots. It has been running since Monday and I signed up yesterday. Too late to join the six person team we have from our team, so we started our own - The Mongolian Folk Metal Ramblers. Currently we have three members. We need to recruit three more or the organisers will give us three from the poor saps that have no friends... and we know where that will end up.  We'll get the nerds that no one else wants.   Still, all they have to do is follow the link and join us listening to the Mongolian Throat Singers...... ...
