Registration is underway for the Spring Walking Challenge

Registration is underway for the Livingston County Health Center’s Spring Walking Challenge to be held April 22nd through June 16th . The challenge is a continuation of Health Center’s “Walk Chillicothe” Project.

Those interested can sign up now through Monday, April 23rd 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. Register by visiting www.livcohealthcenter.com or call 646-5506.

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.  Forms are available at the Health Center, or can be printed off the website.  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 www.livcohealthcenter.com.  You can also stop by the Health Center office at 800 Adam Drive to register and pick up an exercise log while you’re there.
