Step into health - Your Health in Ramadan - 10000 steps challenge started

Commercial Bank announced an exciting new health campaign for its staff ‘Your Health in Ramadan’ - which is a one month initiative by Aspire Zone Foundation, meant to engage the staff of Commercial Bank in a self-managed program, based on a modest amount of daily healthy activity.

An increasing number of people in Qatar suffer from lifestyle diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, due to changes in lifestyle that trend toward obesity more and more. These diseases are predominantly caused by sedentary lifestyles and poor eating habits. The month of Ramadan is a great opportunity to focus on bringing back a balanced and healthy lifestyle in our life. We are all aware that exercise and physical activity is important to maintain a healthy body and mind, and one of the simplest ways of achieving this is by walking - in essence, taking 10,000 more steps a day.

Yesterday i have received my pedometer provided by Aspatar, and start wearing it at 01:00 PM, at the end of the day i was surprised that with my normal activities which includes one hour active walking from 10:00 to 11:00 PM that i have exceeded the target of 10000 steps away too far :) below is my first day record ...
