OM: ANDY, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

AT: I love spending time with my family. We enjoy doing activities together at the weekend, such as swimming, and I enjoy following football and playing golf when I get the chance. Also, my son likes ten-pin bowling, so I like supporting him and trying to get a strike or two!

WHAT ARE YOUR

FOR 2023?

Goals

My main goal is to do over 60,000 steps per week, which I know doesn’t seem like a lot to some people. However, my current role requires me to travel around the country and attend numerous meetings, so that’s a lot of sitting down throughout the day.

WHAT’S YOUR MOTIVATION FOR ACHIEVING THIS GOAL?

I’m doing this to improve my overall fitness and increase my activity levels across the week. I’m keen to continue building on my health journey, and getting in the extra steps is a great way to do this.

HOW IMPORTANT IS MINDFULNESS TO YOU?

It’s something that I’m keen to focus on throughout 2023. Mindfulness will be a crucial part of my healthy lifestyle to manage my work/ life balance. We tend to let things get on top of us, so we need to stop, sit back, and take a moment to be in the present. So I’ve committed to doing 10 minutes of mindfulness daily to clear my mind.

WHAT TOOLS WILL YOU USE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR DAILY MINDFULNESS?

I’m a big advocate of getting outside and going for a walk, it’s excellent for clearing your mind. So I’ve downloaded a mindfulness app on my phone and plan on listening to podcasts whilst walking and travelling.
