UMD Wellness - Spring 2005
Fitness Begins One Step at a Time
Goal: to promote wellness and encourage employees to maintain a healthy living environment.
The campaign challenges UMD faculty and staff to walk or do physical activity totalling 100 miles from February 7 to May 15, 2005, and to log their physical activities. Once the 100-mile challenge has been completed, employees may submit the log form to the Department of Human Resources. Employees that turn-in their log form by May 23, 2005, will receive a free UMD Wellness Walkers t-shirt.2,000 steps or 15 minute walk or 15 minutes of physical activity = 1 mile
Two thousand steps on the pedometer or 15-minute walk or 15 minutes of physical activity is equivalent to one mile! Examples of physical activities, other than walking, are: aerobics, backpacking, baking, bicycling, calisthenics, canoeing, carpentry, dancing, exercising, gardening, going up and down stairs, jogging, jumping rope, mopping floor, mowing the loan, rowing, sports, running, vacuuming the floor, weight lifting, wood working, etc.
