Be inspired by our Health Check Month Ambassadors. See what health habits our Health Check Month Ambassadors committed to (and completed) in October...
Natalie Filatoff // Editor, Prevention
"How to create an effective 1/2 hour workout program to work in with my daily schedule."
Sue Wheeler // Editor in Chief, Prevention & Women's Health
"Having Michelle's strategies in place certainly helped me stay on track more easily. Sticking a checklist of my walking days on the front of the fridge and ticking them off was a good one (nothing like guilt staring you in the face). However, I'm no saint and I didn't walk as regularly as I promised. I told Michelle that I needed her on my doorstep five times a week. Where was she? What do you mean she's a busy woman?"
Felicity Harley // Editor, Women's Health
"So, I had to skull more water and I can happily say, I'm definitely doing just that. Michelle's simple tip of investing in a bright new water bottle for my desk was genius - it yells at me rather than becoming wallpaper amongst the pens. Keeping my body hydrated has helped my energy levels too."
Amanda Goff // Journalist
"Well, being told to eat more might be some peoples' idea of heaven but for me, it was incredibly hard. I love my coffee and nibble of a croissant - so to swap that for toast or bircher museli at first made my stomach turn first thing. I literally had to force it down. But then I started to notice I had more energy, and was able to finish an intensive yoga class in the afternoon, without yawning my way through it! So little change, big results. Just kick starting my metabolism in the morning kept my motor running for the rest of the day. Thanks Michelle! "
Luke Benedictus // Deputy Editor, Men's Health
"Thirty five years of woeful posture had caught up with me. I was suffering from back ache and had started picking up lots of little niggles that all stemmed from my tight hamstrings. Stretching for 10 minutes every evening resulted in an almost instant pay-off. It's enabled me to wave goodbye to back pain and become more aware of the tension hotspots in my neck and shoulders. I'm definitely hoping to keep it up in the hope of one day being able to touch my toes."
Ian Cockerill // Editor, Men's Health
"I wanted to introduce regular bodyweight exercises into my routine to build upper body strength, with the ultimate goal of being able to complete 100 push-ups. As it turned out, I was guilty of over-ambition, maxing out at 53 push-ups by the end of the month, but on reflection I'm happy that I've now got a good foundation to build upon."
Shelley Horton // S Editor-At-Large, The Sun Herald
"To exercise every day."
Michelle Bridges
"To not drinking alcohol for the month of October and support Oc-Soba."
