Meet Hayley Smith who is a staff member working as a Recruitment Events Assistant, based in the Recruitment and Outreach department.
What role do you have at UEA?
I work very closely with our student workers and help deliver Open Days, Applicant Days and Campus tours among other recruitment events.
What do you like about Moves?
I like how easy the app is to navigate and how I am awarded with points (even on a lazy day!). It has groups and challenges to keep motivation up!
Has Moves impacted your physical activity levels and how?
The thought of earning the odd free hot drink, donation to a charity or entering a competition for free by moving acts as motivator for trying to up my steps on a daily basis.
What do you like doing physical activity-wise?
I love to go for a run (although i’m not the fastest!) and have just started home workouts with Joe Wicks!
What are your top tips for being physically active?
Dont put too much pressure on yourself or set your targets too high! Make sure that you are enjoying the physical activity you take part in.
What rewards have you enjoyed claiming?
I have had fresh fruit from The Shop, I have donated points to the NNUH Charity during lockdown one! And have been lucky enough to win a restaurant voucher!
What are your favourite challenges?
I love a virtual run challenge – I sign up to 5/10ks and can run them at my leisure, on my own set courses and earn a medal or T Shirt on completion. A percentage of the money is often donated to charity!
