March Into May
Welcome to
March Into May!
Hopefully your team captain was able to come pick up your information package with your pedometers and that you're ready to start walking! As a reminder, here's how the program works:
Step 1: Start Walking & Track Your Steps
Write down your daily individual steps using the Step Tracker. We will NOT be using the step conversion chart. This is NOT an exercise challenge. Please measure walking ONLY. Running, jogging, aerobic classes, etc., DO NOT count. We will be doing an exercise program later in the year; this is a walking program.
Step 2: Report Your Weekly Steps to Your Team Captain
Every Monday, each team member turns in their weekly total steps to their team captain (ex. 42,000). The team captain totals up the steps for the entire team (ex. 126,000) and the team captain will submit their team’s total steps by Tuesday at 5 PM. The team captain will receive an e-mail every Monday that will prompt them to submit their team’s total each week.
Week 1: Due Tuesday, April 3rd Week 4: Due Tuesday, April 24th
Week 2: Due Tuesday, April 10th Week 5: Due Tuesday, May 1st
Week 3: Due Tuesday, April 17th Week 6: Due Tuesday May 8th
Step 3: PRIZES!
The top 3 teams will win a delicious & nutritious lunch for all team members!
Prizes will also be given for:
· Most Creative Team Name
HEALTHY LIFESTYLES POINTS: If your team completes the program, everyone will receive 50 Healthy Lifestyles points.
