Hi Stef here.Just recently hooked up to bikeboost and can honestly say never realised i was so unfit! Joined up with the local gym,the D.I.S.C on mains loan 6 weeks ago as have have put on quite a bit of weight with illness. However lost 6 pounds and am really chuffed!!Bit nerve racking on the old two wheels,especially on the roads but am thoroughly enjoying it.Feel like a big kid!Anyway good luck to everyone with their challenges.Keep active!

I walked the Miley on Saturday with my wife and dog. First time I've walked it. Flat and not to overgrown at the moment. I half expected it to be full of litter but it was actually very clean. Tunnel under Harefield Road was amazing. Hard to imagine steam trains travelling through it? Possibly the ground was built up a bit more or the trains used were smaller than the ones I've seen at York Railway museum? Dog loved it.....plenty of rabbits to chase.

I went with my wife and son for a walk in the Sidlaws at Lundie Crags. Not very far but really enjoyed the breeze in this scorching day. The Sidlaws are great and only a bus ride away. The views today were magnificant. A great family day - one to remember. Hope you did something nice today too. John.

Cycled into work along Riverside today. Lovely. The reflections on the water, the wildflowers of the coup and a slight breeze on my back to help me along. I cannot wait for the pedal home.

I started working for DTA last Tuesday, and it's been great so far! Helping out with the "Don't Park Here" programme provides that wonderful feeling of "job satisfaction", and no that's not because I get to tell off people older than me! :P I'm hoping my time here will help me get fitter, lose weight and most of all, help other people to improve their health and encourage the younger population to follow this as well.

7 months pregnant now and still walking to work! Getting a little slower now and a bit breathless when walking up the Hilltown but really want to keep some level of fitness up. Have needed to add on 5 mins to my journey but just wanted to say it's still possible when you're carrying a baby bump. Good for both of us I reckon :) Merry

I usually cycle commute to Tayside House, but had an accident 3 weeks ago and waiting for insurance to pay for new bike (my ribs are pretty much healed up). Still managed a bit of a jog for Sports Relief on Saturday, and walking a couple of miles a day. The weather is getting great and I cannot wait to get back to enjoying the cycle along the waterfront everyday.

Hi Alistair here form Wave 102 So I have managed to get through to my final challenge. For week 4 it’s all about motivation, so I am now keeping a chart with how much activity I am getting to let me see how I am getting on. It’s a good idea as it is helping me plan what I am doing. Still managing to park and walk in to the office, which I have found is not part of my routine. I am planning more walking as the weather gets better so looking forward to it. The girls from DTA will be here on Friday for our catch up. Keep trying to get that 30 minutes 5 times a week Keep active – Alistair

Alistair @ Wave 102 here again – well the weather hasn’t been kind this week but still managing to park and walk in giving met that 10 to 15 minutes walking each way. I’m going to put swimming once a week into my routine after managing 3 times last week, and although it has been tempting I am still managing to walk to the local shops rather than take the car. So trying to keep motivated. The girls from Dundee Travel Active will be in on the Mid Day show on Friday on Wave 102, so tune in to see what they have to say and set me another challenge for week 4 Let me know what you are up to – Alistair

Hi Alistair at Wave 102 here sorry not been blogging everyday but here is my catch up. The girls from Dundee Travel Active were in on Friday to see how I was getting on. Good news managed to keep on walking but parking further away, although I did forget where I parked one day - it's an age thing! Also managed to get some swimming into my routine was swimming 3 times last week, but I’m not sure I can keep up three time, but will try and go once a week ongoing. Also my challenge this week was to walk to the local shops rather than go the short distance by can. It’s so tempting to do the short journey by car, but it’s working, up hill to get there but it’s downhill on the way back! Let me know how you are getting on, and the girls from DTA will be back in to see me on Friday on Wave 102 between 11 and 12 Cheers – Alistair

Hi Alistair from the Mid Day Show on Wave 102 with the latest update. Still doing the walking which is good, the walk into work is going well, still getting my 30 minutes a day just from this one thing, but was challenged to go swimming this week, so have been once already this week - going to try and do it three time. Felt great afterwards. Will be cathing up aith the girls from DTA on Friday's show so listen out for more hints and tips. Happy walking and let me know how you are getting on. :-)

Opps sorry - haven't written for a couple of days. So here we go. The girls from DTA came in to my show on Wave 102 on Friday morning and we found out I had been walking every day getting my 30 minutes in. Jon, is doing well but he parked outside the other day! It is very tempting!! But we have both managed to save some money by not feeding the parking meter everyday. I found somewhere different to park this morning, and looking out my swimming shorts and off for a quick swim tonight. Let me know how you are gettin on too. Happy walking - Alistair

Hi Alistair from Wave 102 again - today was tempting to park closer because it was freezing this morning, but I am true to the challenge, parked along Perth Road and walked in, I was listening to the radio via my phone to keep me company on the walk, and found myself singing out loud! Ooops! Day 5 tomorrow and myself and Jon will be set another challenge. Listen out on Wave 102 on Firday morning between 11 and 12 to find out more. Cheers Alistair

Hi Alistair from Wave 102 here. Keeping up my walking by parking further away from the office. Finding some places I didn't know existed! Today was a nice walk, the sun was shining, although it was a wee bit cold. I managed it into the office just before 9 too - just got to add a bit extra on to my journey time but keeping up OK. Hope you are doing well too. Alistair :-)

Hiya! Jon here from Wave 102 - so, this excersise business..... Today was the official day one of the challenge, Alistair and I have been challenged to park the car further away - I did it! My car is officially stranded 0.8 miles away in Perth Road, the walk to work was great this morning, had the tunes on the iPod and marched in - fantastic! I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow, maybe by the time I go get the car I'll be folded like a deckchair puffing and panting at the end of the Perth Road - if this is the case, and you see me, just move me out of the way of any cars - thanks! :)

Alistair from Wave 102 here - parked car further from work today - took 15 minutes to walk in but I did it! It wasn't too bad, the sun was shining so it was a nice walk - looking forward to the walk back later. More tomorrow - Alistair

Launched Dundee Travel Active feature on the Mid Day Show on Wave 102 this morning - Jon Quipp and myself have been set a challeneg of parking further away from work and walking in to get us more active - I'm up for it! Find a free parking space and getting active too. I'll keep you up to date with how I am getting on. Alistair

Our office competition has got off to a great start - we have started keeping diaries of our activities for this month to see who can clock up the most minutes. Keeping a daily diary is a great way to see how we're doing and we all find it very motivating. We started on the 1st of feb and this week, as well as some extra activites Susan completed her 5 X 30 simply by walking 15 minutes before and after work. As well as feeling great she has saved herself £4 per day in parking. Kirsty did a whopping 5 hours of activity, no wonder she feels so energised. Sarah and Caley completed their 5 X 30 and are really feeling the health and money saving benefits of some extra activity. Look out for our next update... we'd love to hear some of your stories too..

Think I walked at least five miles today!!!! From the back of the Wellgate up to Tannadice Street, Fleming Gardens East, Cleppington Road, down Caird Avenue along Strathmore Avenue down the hilltown then half way up a multi!!! Thats not taking into account the massive amounts of stairs I climbed!! Truly invigorating!!!! If that wasnt enough I then walked from Tesco on the Kingsway, definitely getting into the whole Travel Active thing!! Helps being a Travel Advisor though I suppose........

I have become fairly active recently with my Travel Advisor position - walking all over Hilltonwn and Stobswell and up all the tenement and multi stairs! Do feel my fitness improving which is great. Hope to keep up the travel active spiritover winter by joining Abertay's badminton club and also the gym. may even learn to cycle as a guinea pig for gary! wish me luck! =)
