3 months ago, we noticed something. Working from home makes it dangerously easy to just... not move. πͺ
No commute, no walk to the meeting room, no reason to leave your chair. So we decided to do something about it and launched a Fitness Challenge across the team. πͺ
The idea was simple. Get moving, stay consistent, keep each other a little accountable, with weekly rewards along the way and a final recognition for whoever kept it up best.
Saad Razzaq took the top spot for overall consistency. π
But the bit we keep coming back to: 11 different people won a weekly prize over 13 weeks. Some were in the gym before work. Some walked after dinner. One of our DevOps engineers kept his workouts going from his village.
Everyone found their own version of it. That was the whole point.
The challenge has wrapped up. Staying off the couch hasn't. π
