Ready to “Step” into Spring?
The FP&M Wellness team is excited to bring back the step challenge during the month of April 2024. This is a great way to be active and connect with your team. Participate to see how much you’ve been walking around campus, or go walking with a co-worker to brainstorm while soaking in the fresh air. View and print flyer.
Will you help the FP&M team reach its goal of 10,000,000 steps?
The FP&M Step Challenge is a collaborative effort for FP&M employees to walk a total of 10,000,000 steps together as a division. See this flyer to print and spread the word with co-workers. The challenge begins on April 1, 2024 and goes through April 30, 2024. See how to track your steps and get connected in the How to join sections below to participate in the Step Challenge!

Conversion Chart (Step Challenge)
No fitness tracker? No problem. You can manually enter steps in your Apple iOS or Android device to synch into Count.It. Use the conversion chart for reference when turning activities into steps (equivalents for biking, dancing, cleaning the house, etc.) Note: the free Count.It app itself does not allow you to enter steps manually. Use the Conversion Chart to manually convert your activities into Steps-Per-Minute (SPM).
