Office Olympics scoreboard

A team challenge at work. Stairs, walking meetings, planks and squats all score points.

Your details

Points reward taking part, so everyone can score whatever their fitness. Swap events for seated ones so nobody is left out, and never push through pain for points.

Stop and get help if you have chest pain, feel faint or are unusually breathless, and call 999 if chest pain does not go away. If you have a heart, lung or joint condition, check with your GP before stepping up.
