Bethan, Senior Sister at the North Wales Cardiac Centre took part earlier in the year and felt the benefits:
“The one million steps challenge is making me become more active, especially when I have been at my desk all day – I have also lost 3lbs in weight”
As well as Sam, a Cardiac Secretary:
“I am enjoying going out before work. Before the challenge, I wouldn’t normally do that and I am feeling fitter, less tired and can cope with my work day better”
