How much do you move?? Time to check…??
By Nic • 6 October 2026So we’re doing a step challenge in October- inspired by the NHS 30 minute walk per day. We put out a blog last month about the NHS initiative that will be launched in early 2027 (Movement 26.2) and decided to see what we currently ‘actually’ do rather than what we just think we do.
