Walking 10,000 steps a day is always on the list of things to do to be healthier. 10,000 steps is also the standard goal setting on most fitness trackers and watches. Distance-wise, 10,000 steps is between six and seven kilometres if you are walking – at least that’s what my Apple Series Watch tells me….

Run Motivators: Pizza, Pizza! 40K Challenge
Run Motivators is one of my go-to companies for virtual races. They have amazing medals, really fun challenges and a great support team. Although I have written about many other virtual race companies, this one was actually one of the first I bought a medal from. I ordered my Pizza, Pizza! 40K Challenge medal several…

Noom: First Impressions of the Weight Loss App
Everybody and their mother has probably heard of Noom. They clearly spend a lot of money on advertising. I have seen them on every single social media channel and streaming service.

MyFitnessPal: Weight Management App
I have been using MyFitnessPal on and off since 2016. It is a fitness tracking app that lets you log your progress. This includes the food you eat, the exercise you do and so much more. The basic app is completely free although the paid app has some features worth the investment. When I first…
Virtual Challenges, Real Medals: The Conqueror & Medal Mad
One of my New Year’s Resolutions this year was to get back in shape. I started running again on January 3rd and by the end of the month I had signed up for six races! Unfortunately, the soonest one is in May and I needed a little motivational push. This is why I looked into…
