SUSTRANS ACTIVE COMMUTE CLUB

JOIN THE SOCIAL MOVEMENT: FEEL BETTER WITH ACTIVE COMMUTE CLUB

The Scottish Workplace Journey Challenge is taking a breather in 2021 and will be back bigger and better in 2022! You can still enjoy the benefits of active travel with Sustrans’ #ActiveCommuteClub a social movement to reimagine your commute that suits your working day.

Spring is a great time to get outdoors so why not reimagine your commute by being more ac-tive before or after work. Taking time out is good for us to connect with the outdoors and re-establish the boundaries between our work and personal life.

Think how you could make the most of the time when you used to be stuck in rush hour. Now it’s an opportunity to enjoy physical activity instead. That could be a quick walk, wheel, cycle or jog before or after work. No activity is too small, or too local. You could even take a coffee in a keep cup on your morning loop of the block before logging on for the day. It might not be a 'real' commute but having an active routine like this has real benefits for your wellbeing.

As part of a like-minded community, you can share your stories of your working from home ‘loops’ or active travel commutes for key worker roles and celebrate as part of a community of like-minded people.

There'll be lots of ideas to make your experience as enjoyable as possible! Playlists, podcast recommendations, Strava groups and more. Follow @SustransScot and #ActiveCommuteClub.
