Congratulations to Praveen from Hounslow
He used to be overweight and wasn't used to exercising much during the week except for the short walks to the grocery store, train station, etc. A recent health issue prompted him to look after his health and well-being and make some changes to be more active.
Here is why he is a Move More Hero:
"From the moment I started using the app, I loved how it combined practical health tracking with an environmental purpose. It doesn’t just help me monitor my daily activities— it also shows how I’m contributing to reducing CO2 and NO2 emissions etc, which feels incredibly rewarding.
The app keeps me motivated with its unique rewards system. It has encouraged me to start using the facilities at my local Lampton leisure centre.
I was overweight and was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. My exercise habits have consistently improved over the last two years, and I have lost almost 11 kgs of excess weight. My H1Bacc sugar levels in my blood have been normal since last year, so I am no longer pre-diabetic. My blood pressure has also returned to normal.
Above all, I enjoy my physical exercise. I exercise at least 4-5 days a week and this has become a habit now, and I hope to keep it up.
Earning points and prizes for becoming more active is such a fantastic incentive, and the recognition, like being awarded the title of 'Move More Hero,' feels like the perfect cherry on top. Honestly, what more could anyone ask for?
