🅰️ COUNTER TRENDS TO THE SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE [Nov.12.2020] #AutomaticWin
As the second wave of this pandemic rages another health concern looms ever more pressing to the front of many minds.
It’s the sedentary lifestyle, an epidemic that’s sweeping across the world as people lockdown, stay put, work from home, and connect via the internet.
Previous to the the COVID-19 pandemic our sitting way of life was already out of control. Now this trend could be even more of a concern... especially if your from a winter weather country like I am.
Although it’s become all to easy to stay home and lounge I think there is a counter trend forming. Getting outdoors is actually becoming a thing! I’ve taken my whole family on outdoor adventures away from crowds and away from the complacent lull of the t.v. this fall. We have enjoyed the fresh air and each other and I’ve noticed other families doing the same! I guess being cooped up indoors away from people can get pretty boring.
So even though we have more opportunities than ever to live and work in sedentary ways... now is the time to begin discovering a new way (or is it actually an old way?) of life. One where walking is much more a part of what we do each day!
So it is on this note I would like to inform those of you reading these words who are new to my blog about an opportunity to WIN!
Doctors around the glob are telling us to combat the negative health effects of a sedentary lifestyle with a 10,000 step goal.
In alignment with this goal I launched the #AutomaticWin Initiative and more recently the #Win Initiative!
Here’s how it works:
• Get 10,000 steps with the @Actifit dApp.
• When you do it snap a screen capture of your step count and the current time as proof that you reached your goal!
• When you publish your @Actifit Report to the Hive Blockchain include the screen capture and either the #AutomaticWin or the #Win hashtag depending on when you reached your goal! (See bellow for how to determine which hashtag to use.)
An #AutomaticWin is achieved if you reach your 10,000 step goal BEFORE 10am. Use the #AutomaticWin hashtag in your post!
A #Win is achieved if you reach your 10,000 step goal BEFORE 10pm. Use the #Win hashtag in your post.
When you achieve an #AutomaticWin or a #Win you will have earned a special badge, an upvote from @AdventureReady, a possible re-blog for a well composed report, and the WIN Token!
This step initiative is all about supporting you all as you make intentional decisions every day.
Living a health focused lifestyle doesn’t have to be something you do alone by yourself! This step initiative is fun and you will likely find that the steps you are taking will come that much easier when you have a common goal to focus on!
If you would like to join us do it! I’m looking forward to seeing your posts in the #AutomaticWin & #Win feed!

The pandemic is indescribable, like a demon from hell wants to drain us of everything, the economy, losing loved ones and all the sad new, but we have choosing to live despite that which is actually good.
Staying home during the lockdown then was hell for me at a time I started taking adventures to the farms and long walk as well.
Its a good thing you that you take your family out to relieve such stress as well
Stay healthy
Stay safe
You as well Monica! Stay safe! Stay healthy!
This virus is certainly NOT human... and that's why we all need to continue to connect. Reminding ourselves of what makes us human.
It's the very best in us that's going to get us through this mess... and that means how we human matters.

You are definitely right, with the lockdowns/stay at home orders,many people are going to gain weight; especially with all the sugary snacks and empty calories. As you said in an earlier post sitting is the new smoking but with Actifit we are safe and knowledge is power. Thank you for sharing and keep enjoying your weekend :}
I was just talking with someone today and they told me that herself and her husband have gained A LOT of weight since the pandemic started! I encouraged her to do something about it RIGHT AWAY and to NOT wait until the New Year frenzy begins. I think I got her thinking anyways...
It's tough because I know that when things are upside down like they are people don't seem to have the heart to change especially when those bad habits are sources of comfort for them. But forward thinking sense say's that the future is going to look so much better if we continue to feed and compound our spirits and exercise our bodies!
Thank you for your continued support and the connection your comments create. I appreciate you Eric!
