Thanks guys.
Ruthy - you really should sign up. Its a real boost. I'm doing SW online so although I don't get an actual sticker, it was great getting the award flashing up on the screen and being able to go and look at it. I feel quite proud of myself as I've never been into exercise!
Bumpyo - There are four different awards: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Basically they are there to encourage you to build activity into your life so that it becomes a habit. It doesn't necessary have to be jogging or aerobics, today I spent 15 minutes dancing with my little girl (well actually if anyone had seen me I don't know if dancing would be the word they had used!!!). 10 weeks ago, there is on way I would have done that, and my daughter loved it!
I can't find my book that lists what you have to do for the awards, but I think for Bronze you had to do at least 60 minutes of activity spread over at least 3 days, for 4 weeks.
For silver I think it was 90 minutes over at least 3 days for 4 weeks.
I am now working towards gold and I have to do 150 minutes over 5 days for 8 weeks.
To get your platinum you have to basically do the gold award twice.
Give it a go, I'm really glad that I have and feel it is a real achievement for me.
