Move More Hero

Sunita D from Heston tells her story

She recently discovered the BetterPoints Hounslow challenge and the 'browse and book' feature is a particular favourite of her's.

Read hear how it has helped her health and wellbeing here:

“Being a mother and working part time - I hardly had anytime time to exercise as at the end of the day I was always tired.  I work in an office, and I suffered with severe back pain as I'm always sitting at my desk, my posture was poor. Not only that my life was quite stressful too. I had tried acupuncture for my back, but it was quite expensive. My health was not good either as I had high blood pressure, tachycardia plus my cholesterol was on the borderline of high. I then decided that I need to do something for my health and well-being.

Sunita was introduced to BetterPoints by a member of staff at her local GP surgery.

She frequently uses the ‘browse and book’ feature of the app. The activity finder has found a local Yoga class in Heston that she now attends on a weekly basis.

"What I also like is how the app can keep track of my daily activities too like walking.  This motivates me more, as the more exercise I do the more points I collect. The BetterPoints incentive is really good. I’ve recently redeemed my points for £25 worth of Love2Shop gift cards.

Since I have attended yoga classes my health has improved so much. I no longer have poor posture; my blood pressure has gone back to normal. I was even told by my GP nurse that the likelihood of me having a heart attack is now very low.

I have more energy than before; I have a better idea of how to deal with stressful situations and relax myself by meditating and doing the breathing exercises I’ve learned in the class.

I have more energy now and feel so good. The Yoga classes are for all levels and it's the best decision I have made for my health and well-being.” – Sunita from Heston‍
