10,000 Steps A Day Challenge

If you are having trouble getting motivative to begin your work out or nutrition I would like to give you a challenge against me. If you are up for it just let me know - no hard feels if you don't. 

Here is the Challenge....

10,000 Steps A Day Challenge

Starting tomorrow - February 1, 2011 - Take 10,000 steps a day. 

Research shows that you need to take 10,000 steps a day to start losing weight. 

How is this possible? Well, there are a couple of ways, walk 5 miles (its 10000 steps) either on a treadmill or outside (if you dare in this cold weather) or do a work out video, use a exercise machine, etc. 

You can buy a pedometer at Walmart for about $1. (This is how I am going to track mine.) Or you can use the Employee Weight Room (it is clean and working - if you need to code call Dora or me). We have equipment to help you work-out including a new addition - "The Biggest Loser Power Walk" it has 4 - 1 mile walks - which take you about 16 minutes to do. (Well worth a visit to the Weight Room to try them out.) 

If you don't want to use our facility, Elite Fitness is offering a discount to Payson City Employees and the Biggest Loser Participants and Anytime Fitness is also offering Payson City Employees a discount. 

After we get going on the 10,000 steps a day - we will start on Nutrition.
