Want to make your exercise goal stick? Do it for someone else...

 

If your 2023 goal is to exercise more, then there's one commitment strategy you can try to stay accountable. Do it for yourself... and to help MES build healthy inner-city communities through Vitality MoveToGive.

New year... same reluctance to get up in the morning? How very human of you. We know that pairing a workout with a reward like a coffee or smoothie can help us get up and go. But an equally powerful motivator is doing it to reward others.

Get active to get (others) rewarded

Vitality MoveToGive has partnered with MES to help build healthy inner-city communities while changing and improving the lives of people who are vulnerable and displaced.

We couldn't think of a better partner to kick off 2023 with than MES (Mould. Empower. Serve.) As you know, Vitality is a behavioural change programme that motivates and incentivises members to make small, healthy changes to achieve their health goals.

Similarly, MES is an urban community change agent that provides a haven for urban people who are at risk and helps them live independent, sustainable and meaningful lives.

MES rewards people for taking positive steps such as attending a ready-for-change workshop and joining in a cleaning and recycling initiative to clean their city with a meal, shower and a bed for the night.

How can you help? Simply donate your Discovery Miles to MES through Vitality MoveToGive in the Discovery app from 16 January to 27 February 2023.
