Intentional Movement Challenge
Add a LITTLE or a LOT of Spring in Your Step!
The Wellness team invites ALL staff and Board Members to join us for a step challenge during the month of March.
This challenge is designed for ALL fitness levels - whether you're taking your first steps toward living healthy or want to push your fitness to the next level - choose a "spring in your step" that's right for you!
Record your steps daily and report them weekly. You can count ANY physical activity toward steps - a step conversion chart will be provided to participants. A weekly email will be sent to participants with a link to log steps each Monday.
Those who report their weekly steps will be eligible for WEEKLY prizes. And one lucky GRAND PRIZE WINNER will be randomly selected from the participants who log steps for ALL 4 weeks of the challenge.
The weekly winner & a leader board (for those of you with a competitive spring in your step) will be shared every Monday.
You can make the challenge more fun and social by downloading the optional StepUp app on your smartphone. You will be able to track your steps, compete with friends and be more active together. To join the exclusive PJSD challenge on the StepUp app contact Michelle Urbanek at michelle.urbanek@aah.org.
To participate in the challenge, please complete the registration form.
