We love walking. Especially on Walk2WorkDay!

Why we like to walk…

To start the day with activity that’s good for our bodies and brains.

Tomorrow is #walk2work day! Let's celebrate walking together – it's as easy as taking your favourite walk to work, shops, school or play, using the stairs, parking your car further from your destination, or hopping off the public transport a couple of stops earlier. #Walk2WorkNZ, #Walk2WorkDayNZ, #Walk2Work, #Walk2WorkDay.

Did you know today is #walk2workday ? This morning I walked the kids to school, we are really fortunate to live close enough to school to walk. Work on the other hand that would take me a wee while. Anyway, it’s a beautiful sunny morning in Pegasus and what a great way to start the day spending time with the kids being active. Some days I get caught out – I take my time, I end up rushing around and drive. Easily done! Wherever you are, whatever you do, I encourage you to make a conscious effort to go for a walk today 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ #walk2worknz #walk2work #teamfaimalo #puglove

To show off our shoes, sandals… or toes.

To take time out, maybe even meditate?

To (sometimes) beat the bus!
While being hyper aware of the scary highway traffic…

I did walk to work day and made it to city centre from Sandringham in just under an hour – much faster than I thought. I bet Kingsland and beyond would be considered walkable suburbs if it didn’t look like this… one feels very small! #Walk2WorkDayNZ pic.twitter.com/tbMP7Jvzi8

Did you walk to work today? How was it for you?

If you didn’t manage it on the way in, could you walk home instead?

Let us know on Twitter or send a snap of your fave walk to work on Insta!
