Posted on

On Your Feet Britain:

Get your workplace and co-workers to 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 fun and simple activities to #SitLess and #MoveMore at work.

Taking place on Thursday 25 April 2024, 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 – wherever your desk may be.

It’s FREE to sign up, simply register here

Research shows that regular movement throughout the day leads to

  • Better physical and mental health
  • Increased motivation
  • Improved concentration
  • And many, many more wellbeing and performance benefits

“Get up offa that thing”

The On Your Feet Britain® challenge encourages you to take James Brown at his word and convert ‘sitting time’ to ‘standing time’. Make some simple changes – it’s easier than you think:

  • Stand during phone calls
  • Stand and take a break from your computer every 30 minutes
  • Use the stairs more
  • Arrange standing or walking meetings
  • Eat your lunch away from your desk
  • Walk to a colleague’s desk instead of phoning or emailing them
  • Stand at the back of the room during presentations

On Your Feet Britain® – is your chance to get the ball rolling and encourage your employees, co-workers or even your boss to take a stand. Team up with colleagues and see how much you can reduce your “sitting time”.
