Mental Health / Heart Health / Men's Health / Women's Health / Get Fit / Workplace Health

30 day step challenge complete!

88 teams across the Education Authority took part and completed the 30 day step challenge throughout the month of November.

Every participant was very busy, so busy in fact, we as an organisation walked around the world TWICE in 30 days. With a total of over 84 million steps!!

What an achievement!

Thank you to everyone who took part, we hope you felt a sense of connection, motivation and built an ongoing healthy habit into your daily routine.

A big thank you goes out to Ryan Cunningham from Ryan’s Gym who facilitated this step challenge.

To see more of Ryan’s fitness classes that will be taking place in January 2020 please follow the link below.
