Physical Activity

Each month, choose one of the three physical activity options based on your activity level. The maximum amount of points you can give yourself for exercise each month is 40.*

Fruit & Vegetable Consumption

Receive 10 points a month for consuming on average 5 fruits and veggies a day, 3 times/week, or 15 servings of fruits and vegetables per week. Find out what counts as a serving!

If you miss a week, make up for it the next week. It's easier than you think to meet the recommended servings. Find great tips for shopping guides, recipes, serving sizes, and more at Fruits and Veggies More Matters.*

Seatbelt Use

You will receive 2 points a month for wearing your seatbelt each time you ride in a car.

Monthly Self-Exam

You will receive 2 points a month for performing your monthly breast/testicular self-exam.

Success Story

Once a year you have the opportunity to submit a story about a personal health related achievement. You can share a story about any improvement you've made to your mental or physical health. For example, you may have: improved your sleep by meditating, improved flexibility by attending yoga, overcome a chronic illness by increasing your activity level, or quit smoking.
If you would like to share your success with us, please email your story (you may attach a Word document as well) to KyPeterson@slco.org. The submissions are confidential. Please record your submitted story on your WellSteps checklist; it will appear as "pending." We will contact you once we have received the success story to verify it has been accepted.
*To help you keep track of your physical activity and nutrition during the month, use the monthly Activity Tracker. Please do not hand this tracker in - it is for your own use
