can he change a fitness tracker of your life? Employees here at Adventist HealthCare find that these popular devices like Fitbit and Jawbone, can inspire the small changes that have a big impact over time.
Recently, our division of wellness, LifeWork strategies, challenged employees to "Appalachian Trail Challenge" Inspired by the 2168-mile hike from Maine to Georgia. Employees trained teams to achieve the goal of logging 56,000 steps challenge - or an average of 8,000 steps per day. - More than six weeks on their fitness trackers
the idea was that in groups of 8 to 10, teams of employees could cover a distance equivalent to the Appalachian Trail over the duration of the challenge, said Michaela Graminski, the coordinator of wellness strategies for LifeWork who coordinated the effort. the teams trained at various Adventist HealthCare entities with employees competing for the rights as well as weekly gifts and a grand prize of bragging.
first, the logging of steps was true sport . Colleagues whipped each other into action and found simple ways to add steps. We jogged in front of the copy machine, parked our cars further away from the front door, and we walked the stairs during the breaks. Every day we connected to our well-being of the company portal to check the rankings and stay motivated.
When completed challenge, we have more than conquered the Appalachian Trail Virtual employees recorded a total of 51,722,427 steps -.. approximately 24,487 miles, slightly more a tour around the world. Better yet, many of us have lost weight. We also developed all kinds of wacky habits for fitness work in our daily routine, and we formed new relationships with colleagues and our families.
Perhaps most importantly, we learned that the way to stay in shape doesn 't have to be a giant trek. in fact, when you start tracking small walks life, you realize that they add much more than you expect.
