It’s no secret, being active is good for your health. When you move more, you stay energized, maintain strength, reduce the risk of heart disease, and relieve stress. Being active doesn’t have to mean going to the gym every day. In fact, research finds that walking 10,000 steps a day meets the recommended goal for daily activity.
Engage others within your FP&M unit, be a team captain OR convince a colleague to be a team captain*, track your steps individually on the Personal Step Log, motivate each other to get your steps, and add them together for a team GRAND TOTAL. Bragging rights within FP&M are on the line.
* The team captain is responsible for submitting your team’s final step totals to the Wellness Committee.
