Give your mental health a boost
This winter, the Ritchie Community League challenges YOU to get outside and get moving.
Physical activity can improve your mood, reduce stress and anxiety and improve your positive mental health.
So whether you walk or roll to the store or shred the mountain slopes, you are boosting your mental health! This challenge runs for one month, January 15 to February 12.
Ritchie: how to get involved
Ritchie members and non-members alike are invited to track their activities and pool their active minutes with their neighbours on Strava. Download the Strava App to your mobile device and search for the club “Ritchie United” to join.
Tips and Tricks
1) You can MANUALLY input activities into Strava even if you track your distance with a different device, just look for the plus sign [+].
On mobile, this is found on the “Feed” screen.
On a computer, go to the Strava website, set up or sign in to your Strava account and choose the “Training” dropdown menu. Select “Activities” and find the plus symbol [+] in the top right corner by your profile picture.)
2) For those without access to the Strava app: submit your total time (in minutes) by e-mail: events@ritchie-league.com.
3) If you take your family out for a walk, your children’s distance counts as well! So if your family of four takes a 30- minute stroll, you can report 120 minutes total!
4) Watch our website and social media for events and workshops that we’ll organize throughout the challenge month.
