Thanks and good luck!

Welcome to the Blog

Good Morning Participant -

Once I get confirmation from all of our non-Phoenix employees that they have received their pedometers and that the pedometers work (you all know who you are, please shoot me a quick e-mail confirming this), I will give an exact day and time the "walk" will kick off. Until then, please test your pedometers - instructions are in the small box the pedometers come in. Let me know if they don't work so we can get a replacement. NAC participants will get their pedometers on Friday.

Once we begin our "walk, you will keep track of your miles Sunday through Saturday and report them to your Team Leader on Monday mornings. In turn the team leader will compute total numbers for the team and report them to me by noon on Monday. I will then post weekly updates for all six teams on Tuesday to our blog. Please visit our blog dedictaed to this event for all future correspondence and information - www.hpwalks.blogspot.com/

Again, please remember that it is NOT only exercise or activities that accumulate miles with the supplied pedometer that count towards your miles. ANY sport activity can earn you miles...
You can use your pedometers for - walking and running outside.
You can report mileage off of - a stationary bike, eliptical machine or treadmill
Any exercise you do - weight lifting, yoga, jazzercize, aerobics, outside biking will earn you 3 miles for every hour of exercise.
Stay tuned for more information and let me know if you have any questions.
