At Fit is a Feminist Issue we’ve had a lot to say about workplace wellness schemes. Not all of it positive. See here and here and here and here.
And then Tracy and I have had lots to say about step counting for work, here’s me and here’s Tracy.
Now here I am at my new job at a university with a big focus on workplace wellness. So far I’m loving it. I’ve been on walking tours of campus. I took part in a university bike to work program. And now I’m team co-captain of the College of Arts Activity Challenge, Hustle for the Harvest.

What do I like about it? You can share your personal achievements with others on the team or not. It’s not just step counting. All forms of movement can count. PHEW! And it’s only 2 weeks long.
