feedback

Hi,
 
Thanks indeed for a wonderful initiative that got the woman of Vanuatu to challenge themselves in this Wokabaot challenge. 
 
I have been one of those many who really enjoyed this program and always want to go one step higher. This week is the last week and it sees some of us really trying to walk those steps and challenge oursleves to more than the usual step numbers.:)))
 
By the way the Walkabaot Challenge has really motivated some of us to not only walk but try some other exercises apart from walking. I have a great partner who supports me, walks with me, skips with me, runs with me and do other exercises with me, and it was very encouraging.
 
Thank you for a great initiative.  Please count me in for the next challenge.
 
I have truly enjoyed every walking activity from the beginning to the end and I will continue my walking for a better healthier me and my family.
 
With best regards
XXX

One active lady shares her success strategies

Hi,
some feedback for you:
As of last month i met up with a group of 5 women and told them its OK and healthy to wokabaot in public. We have been going on now for few weeks, and I am planning to met up with them to share the healthy tips you shared with us with them so they can see the importance of keeping healthy, it's just that we have not yet come up with their time as yet.

I have walks with these women and taught them the how walks movement and beats to make a full body movement and that they can be sweating and also told them the more you sweats the more you burn up body calories or body excessive fats. They are now practising and keep up with their walking speeds every mornings. :)) am really proud to see my other fellow sister doing their healthy exercises.

One woman last week approached me and asked if possible she can join with me in my mornings power walks. I assured her that as long as her body agrees with her soul then she is most welcome.

Last month, I had a weight balance, i lost almost 8 kilos :), am feeling much lighter and feeling healthier.

My secret of gaining the 1 million steps is, i have set my aims and goals to achieve the steps that is, a daily 30,000 steps and on public holidays and Sundays 50,000 steps, eventhough i never make 50,000 steps as yet.

I promised my self on day 1 of our program to reach my goals within 6 weeks. I set and structure my distances and exercises. but I think i reach my goal on week 7 or 8 which is not much satisfactory to myself :(

Challenges
Guess what  - I am a really sugary tempting person, i loved chocolates and sweets etc...love eating too and more careless but still working on my exercises each morning. I am struggling with keeping honesty to my health and life, but am slowly each days.

There are some weekends, when i faced rude guys on the road and sometimes drunken but never give up.

Thank you for asking and here is what i wanted to shared with you in this course.

Thank you for your advices and support as always....

What XXX and myself we used to do, is during our lunch hour, we always walk to where we can climb hills.  We do that every lunch, that is why and now, if you come back in July, you will noticed that.  We are now losing a lot of weight...!!!

Wokabaot Jalens success stories...

"Hi.  I wish to take this opportunity to thank you personally for initiating this program which I was very fortunate to participate in.  I thank you sincerely because I have found it to be very successful compared to my previous attempts to reduce my body weight.  With this program I have indeed lost a lot of weight and my blouse and skirts are starting to hang loose....  I also feel smarter and alert everyday I come to work and I am feeling very cool about it.  I am very proud of this achievement and I wish to continue to participate in the next program should there be anymore after this one ends."

Well done!!!!

one of many feedbacks from a participant....

"Thank you so much for that email, I am deeply encouraged as I thought that by walking more than 10,000 steps a day I could still have so much portion on my plate. By reading this email, I will make sure that I will stick to a healthy diet as well. For the past 2 weeks I felt so much alive, more fresher and alert at work and more energetic during my netball game every saturday. I am so thankful to be part of this program...."

Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-hazards Department

Week 1 - we organized for Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays each lunch hour for Dance/Aerobic/ Zumba workouts. We had a successful turnout that first week. On Wednesday afternoon from 3:30 -4:30pm, beach power walking was done. Everyone donated funds for fruits for lunch hour! 



A great lunch hour activity initiative from the Meteorology and Geo-hazards Department!
