We are excited to announce this month’s fitness challenge sponsored by our partners at Health New England! For the month of May, the fitness challenge is the 10,000 steps challenge.

The 10,000 Steps Challenge is a four-week program. During this time, participants engage in the recommended physical activity outlined in the program objectives long enough to establish a new habit. Research supports engaging in moderate intensity physical activity, like brisk walking, for at least 30 minutes, five days a week, or vigorous intensity physical activity, like running or jogging, for at least 20 minutes, four days a week. All who do this can experience health benefits, including reducing the risk of chronic conditions, benefiting brain health and improving overall function.

Participants will set goals and track their steps over the course of this challenge through the Tracking Sheet provided.

Tracking will begin on May 1st and will last through the end of the month. Anyone who submits their completed tracking sheet to healthydirections@hne.com by June 5th will be entered into a raffle for 2 Health New England beach towels and 2 water bottles!

We hope you will take this opportunity to stay active!
