(June 2015)
Kiki Densamo has a goal of being fit just like many other people. So, she is the captain of her team's 10-week pedometer challenge. Pssst, hey...after the first week of competition, her team sat in 2nd place out of 82 teams just steps behind the defending champions from last year. So, what does this mean?
Well, competitiveness and a willingness to make a healthy and active change is in all of us. Sometimes, stepping out of the comfort zone means joining others in the process - it takes a team to complete a team activity. Who knows...may be during this process other people will catch on easily. Likewise, pedometer challenges are a great way to involve a lot of people in a large effort to defeat sitting for too long, especially if your job or position predisposes you to a sedentary lifestyle (commuting counts in that process as well).
On another front, Kiki has positioned herself to be an exercise leader. She has created a separate day during the week in which her teammates as well as other office-mates can talk a walk break around her work environment. Access speaks volumes in this case as does focus. When these two are put in to a formula, the yield is reactive.
With heart,
Derek
