Gardening is great for your health and wellbeing. Mowing, weeding or just enjoying a cuppa outdoors all counts as movement, eases stress and boosts your mood. Every little bit counts – and feels good too.

Sunshine and seaside strolls delivered the perfect Movement Hour for our Torbay team! They swapped their desks for Torquay seafront to get their steps in for the Torbay Workplace Challenge, and enjoyed Torre Abbey’s Art On Your Doorstep trail along the way! What did you do to be more active today?

Movement Hour shoutout to Suzie! She took a few minutes out of her workday for a quick ‘exercise snack’ — out of the chair and onto the wobble board — building core strength, boosting balance, and having a proper laugh while she did it. Brilliant stuff!

What are your plans for Movement Hour tomorrow? Between 12–1pm, why not take a moment just for you? Try a new activity, get some fresh air, or simply give yourself a well deserved break. A little movement, even 20 mins can set you up for a great afternoon.
