Congratulations to Bushra from Cranford, our latest Move More Hero.
Before she started using the app, her activity levels were quite low. She would occasionally go for short walks but didn’t have a consistent routine for exercise.
Here is what she said about the BetterPoints Hounslow challenge:
"Since experiencing a bereavement in my family last year, I went through a difficult time emotionally and stopped going out or taking care of myself. I didn’t feel like doing much and lost motivation.
I heard about the BetterPoints challenge from a High Street advert, and it immediately caught my interest because I was looking for a way to become more active without needing a gym membership. I liked that it encouraged small, achievable goals and made fitness feel more fun and community-based.
After a few months, I downloaded the BetterPoints app and slowly began going out for walks, and that simple step made a big difference. Being outdoors and physically active helped clear my mind, lift my mood, and gradually brought back a sense of focus and motivation.
It became a way for me to cope with sadness and start feeling like myself again.
Being physically active has helped me feel more positive about myself and the way I approach things. It has improved my confidence, boosted my energy levels, and taught me the value of setting and achieving goals. Regular activity has also helped me manage stress better and stay focused throughout the day. I feel more motivated, resilient, and ready to take on challenges.
The app makes it easy to see how much I’ve done and encourages me to push a little further each day. Physically, I have more energy, and my sleep has improved. Mentally, I feel more positive and less stressed, especially after a walk. Financially, I’ve saved money by walking instead of using public transport. It’s also become a great way to spend time with my family; we go on walks together now, which adds a social and bonding element to it."
