Congratulations to Anna T our next 'Move More Hero' who lives near Chiswick. She joined the One You Hounslow challenge in July last year, and before she took part she was physically active three times a week:
"Since I joined BetterPoints I'm now active 7 days a week. I usually find winter really challenging, as the darkness creeps in I am very reluctant to go outside. Since having the app I have started going on lunch time runs every single day, and even signed up to my local Lampton Leisure Centre.
I also asked how has joining the challenge helped her to be more active?
Having an extra reason to go outside to earn BetterPoints has been such a helpful motivational tool. It has really transformed my relationship to exercising and the frequency with which I participate. Mentally I feel much happier and overall I feel healthier, and even though I have lived next to the Lampton Leisure Centre for a while now it has taken the app to motivate me to sign up for a membership! And I even convinced my partner to sign up too.
Finally, I asked her what other benefits had she noticed?
I've really toned up my muscles (as I've started to use them more). Plus I've made running more of a habit - it's really improved my breathing whilst exercising.
I feel stronger and healthier in myself, and going out in the daytime especially has improved my mood. By the evening I'm really ready for sleep, so the regular activity helps me get better quality sleep. Also, I take my partner out running with me, so it's a great way to spend time some quality time with him too." - Anna T
