220 billion steps taken. 142 kilometers walked. 8.9 billion calories burned. Starting May 27, offices across the globe will begin the 12th annual Global Corporate Challenge, adding to these incredible totals and you could be a part of it! As a unique approach to creating long-term behavioural change, the GCC attempts to foster a healthy active lifestyle in your office.
Form a team of 7. Register and your team will receive a “GCC Pulse” to measure daily activity. Once your steps are entered onto the GCC website, they are converted into a real distance, taking you on a virtual journey around the world with associated facts and history from each region. Keep track online of where you stand globally with support and personalised motivation throughout the 100 day challenge.
Making better use of your spare time has never felt so good! Whether its weight loss, healthy competition, team building or an excuse to enjoy more of the outdoors, the GCC can provide tools to take on any upcoming challenge.
In the spirit of physical activity and summer motivation, check out Western’s Health and Wellness page for great ideas of how to add to your teams totals right here on campus:
