How do you make time to exercise?

As part of Mental Health Month, we are encouraging everyone to ‘Go The Extra K’ challenge where entrants run or walk 9000 (9K) steps per day for 30 days for the nine Australians we lose through suicide every day.

And we want you tell us how you make time to exercise, and to send your photos showing how you get your steps up.

Do you walk with friends or alone? Maybe you take your dog for a run, or go bushwalking, but we want you to show us.

Taking 9000 steps are equivalent to 7.2km, which is a good amount of walking for health benefits, with some studies suggesting it’s close to the optimal number of steps to reduce mortality risk. 

Whether doing it alone or as a group challenge, start your 30-day challenge today (Monday September 1), with the journey concluding on Tuesday September 30.

Email a photo of yourself and how you make time to exercise each day to cms@winslow.com.au

And don’t forget to keep a tally of your steps, for details click here.
