For 10 weeks the team at Te Tohu O Te Ora O Ngati Awa participated in the annual Walk 2 Health - Hikoi 2 Hauora Challenge. It is a huge initiative run throughout the Eastern Bay of Plenty promoting physical activity.
Participants were measured and weighed on registration and pedometers were used to help count daily steps. The challenge was to increase your final step count each day (recommended daily step count of 10,000 steps) thus increasing your physical activity and improving your health.
Events and walks were organised every weekend (hosted by supporting organisations) with Sunday 28th November 2009 being the Grand Final Prize Giving Event and Walk from the Whakatane New World car park at 10am.
This was a fun and community focused event. We all look forward to see what 2010 will bring.
Keep walking, keep moving, keep active. Physical activity can add years to your life and life to your years!
