Congratulations to our latest Move More Hero Shaan!
Before he discovered the BetterPoints app he only exercised when necessary, such as walking to work, and did not exercise for leisure or to be more active.
Here is what he said about being part of BetterPoints Hounslow:
"I now feel the need to exercise, whereas before going to the shops to buy bread and milk was a challenge. I understand the importance of physical exercise and I want all the long-term benefits. I have gone from not wanting to walk, to weightlifting 4 x per week and cycling to work.
I struggled with depression following Covid, and I found that exercising is like a life hack. It makes me feel great physically and mentally.
Since using the app, I have become more active to get as many points as possible. For example, I often choose to cycle and walk to work instead of taking the car.
I like the simple layout of the app; it is easy to navigate, and I find the location feature very useful.
I feel more fit and healthy in general; my acne has disappeared, and I do not feel tired during the day anymore. I have only been road cycling for a short period of time, and I have already made many friends who share the same interest too."
