Welcome
to the WellConnect Coast to Coast walking program!
Learn
about several of your company locations while doing something good for your
health! Ten locations have been selected to highlight along your 10-week
walking adventure. You will learn about one of these locations each week
throughout our journey.
Please
feel free to set your own goals. Here are some recommendations:
•
The step goal for apparently healthy adults is 10,000 steps per day (that’s
about 5 miles).
•
For those aiming for weight loss, the goal is 12,000-15,000 steps per
day.
•
For those looking to improve aerobic fitness, add 3,000-6,000 steps per day at
an increased speed.
•
If you are currently inactive, start gradually (less than 10,000 steps) and
work to increase your daily step count a little bit each week.
Remember,
your physical activity can be done anywhere. Add up your steps at work,
at home, at the park, while shopping, walking the dog, or doing just about
anything that requires you to move! The program starts TODAY and
runs through Sunday, July 27th.
Hopefully,
you started wearing your pedometer or Fitbit® this morning. Wear your
device throughout the day. Log your daily steps on the WellConnect Coast
to Coast walking log (received with your device and available on the
Insider/Currant/Review. See Benefits/WellConnect).
Make
sure you submit your walking log every Monday by 5:00 pm CST to me at kkeykal@advantagehealth.com or
fax to me at 952-303-6818. One exception: Since Monday, May
26th is a holiday, you can submit your log by NOON CST on Tuesday, May 27th.
Each
Tuesday, you can expect an email from me that includes results from the
previous week’s top individual walkers AND centers!
Please
let me know if you have any questions. Have fun!
