2016 Spring Walking Challenge



Registration is underway for a Spring Walking Challenge to be held April 10th through June 5th . The challenge is a continuation of Livingston County Health Center’s “Walk Chillicothe” Project.

Those interested can sign up now through Monday, April 11th to participate in the challenge.  Late registrations will be accepted, but the Health Center would like to get as many on the books by starting day as possible. The requirements are simple: pledge to walk 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 8 weeks.  Record walking on an exercise log and turn it in after the 8 weeks to be eligible for the prize drawing.  This year’s drawing includes a Kindle, gift cards and fitness giveaways.  Even if you fall short of your goal, all entries submitted will be put in the drawing.

The walking challenge is an attempt to get people motivated to start a walking habit that will be established after the eight week period.  

Local worksites are also being targeted in the challenge to encourage employers to promote a healthy lifestyle to their workers.

If you would like to sign up for the challenge, call 646-5506 or visit our website at www.livcohealthcenter.com.  You can also stop by our office at 800 Adam Drive to register and pick up an exercise log while you’re here!
