On Your Feet Britain
Join 2 million office workers across Britain with a day of moving while you work.
Take part in On Your Feet Britain - the national activity awareness day when 2 million desk-based workers across Britain participate in a variety of dun and simple activities to #SitLess and #MoveMore at work.
Wiggle it. Waggle it.
Just don't sit on it.
Taking place this year on Thursday 28 April 2022, with a NEW LOOK and revamped materials, plus a day of exciting active events to get us all moving more.
On Your Feet Britain is a FREE and FUN way to reboot and energize your workplace habits. This year we're looking forward to seeing how every worker gets active for the #BigWiggle - where your desk may be.
Did you know? British people sit for 8.9 hours each day (on average)
In recent years a variety of major international research has produced compelling evidence that sitting for more than 4 hours each day leads to:
- Enzymes responsible for burning harmful blood fats shutting down
- Reduced calorie burning (Metabolic rate)
- Disrupted blood sugar levels
- Increased insulin and blood pressure levels
- Leg muscles switching off.
