We are excited to announce that CFA’s Team Exercise Challenge STEPtember is back.

 

September is a great time to dust off the winter blues that can sometimes get in the way of getting out there and moving our bodies, so get ready to boost your motivation and increase your physical activity. 

By participating in this challenge, you’ll not only engage in physical activity but also foster team building and develop connections among CFA staff, volunteers and secondees.

Challenge begins Friday 1 September and ends Saturday 30 September.

Remember, this is your chance to challenge yourself, improve your fitness, health and wellbeing.

Motivate your peers and colleagues to participate so that everyone in your workplace or brigade can join in the fun.

Here’s what you can look forward to during the STEPtember challenge:

Boosted motivation: Join forces with your team mates, build a sense of camaraderie and friendly competition. You’ll find yourself motivated to step up your exercise routine and reach new milestones.

Improved physical activity: STEPtember is all about moving and staying active. You’ll be actively increasing your physical activity levels and taking steps towards a healthier lifestyle. It’s the perfect opportunity to kickstart your fitness journey or take it to the next level.

Strengthened social connections: Connecting with your colleagues and team mates outside of work is a fantastic way to build stronger relationships.

Several prizes lined up for the winning teams:

  • All members of the top three teams will receive a prize.
  • The member with the greatest individual score.
  • The team that demonstrates the most creative approach to promoting physical activity.

How to register:

  1. Form a team of five people – teams fewer than five can participate and will be scaled accordingly.
  2. Assign a team leader responsible for collecting and submitting weekly tallies.
  3. Name your team – get creative (tastefully).
  4. Send a list of your team members, including team name and team leader to healthservices@cfa.vic.gov.au
