PROGRAM

Educate|Motivate (Lincoln County R-III Wellness Program), is coordinating a 4-week walking challenge designed for LCR3 employees to track steps for a healthier YOU! This year’s challenge is a “journey challenge”. Which means we are challenging you to pick one of four destinations and walk there with the number of steps you take in your daily routine. To add to the fun we are going to try to keep up with Dr. Penny along the way!

 

If you have injuries that prevent you from walking regularly, have no fear, you can convert your minutes of “non-walking” activity into steps.

  

GETTING STARTED

To participate and be eligible for prizes, you will need to:

  • You will need to register for the program online at challengerunner.com no later than the end of the day on 9/16/16.
    • Decide how you will track your steps (see below).

 

STEP TRACKING

All steps will be tracked through the challengerunner website this year. In order to do this you will need to sync your wearable device to your profile. Compatible devices for this site are fitbit, JAWBONE, Garmin, Misfit, or a fitbug. You can also use any device with the Moves app. This app is a good choice if you are using a regular pedometer or if you are doing other activities such as biking or swimming that you need to convert into steps.

THE JOURNEY

 

This journey is customizable! The overall goal for each participant is to take as many steps as you can throughout the day. Research shows that ideally we should take around 10,000 steps (5miles) each day. However, if you aren’t ready for that level of activity, we have set other milestones along the way! Below is the path we will take , so pick your goal and join in the fun!

 

  • High Hill, 33 miles – (average of 2,357 steps per day over 4 weeks)
  • Kingdom City, 66 miles – ( average of 4,714 steps per day over 4 weeks)
  • Jefferson City, 95 miles – (average of 6,785 steps per day over 4 weeks)
