Summer is here and it is the perfect time to get back into shape with a few simple steps that can help you each day.
Starting June 6 the MCC-Longview Recreation Center is sponsoring a month long Walk-A-Bouts program that will challenge every employee to walk 10,000 steps A DAY!
“We figured everyone likes to have some sort of challenge in their lives and everyone likes to feel a since of accomplishment when you finally achieve that challenge!” said Amber Vandevender from the MCC-Longview Recreation Center. “You’re thinking WOW; No way can I do that! I’m thinking; I LOVE A CHALLENGE!”
Challenge your co-workers, your friends or go head-to-head against another department to see who can take the most steps to a healthier you. It is as simple as picking up an inexpensive pedometer at Wal-Mart or one of the many health and fitness stores in town and just start walking.
The challenge will run until July 3 and each week participants will need to turn in their walking sheets to the Recreation Center to keep up with the campus-wide program. At the end of the month, Amber will be announcing the winners and posting their picture on the Wall of Champions at the LV Recreation Center.
The challenge is in conjunction with several other challenge programs going on at the LV-Recreation Center this summer.
