Fitbit Challenges

By simply walking, it has been shown to cut your risk for heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure and many other health conditions. That’s why we are challenging you to walk more and more steps everyday through the Fitbit Challenges. The Fitbit Challenges are a series of physical activity programs that involve the use of a pedometer, the Fitbit Zip, to keep you motivated. The Fitbit Zip pedometer keeps track of your steps taken, calories burned and distance traveled. Your Fitbit Zip is able to sync with your ManageWell account so you can have all your wellness data in one place.

If you don’t have a Fitbit Zip, we will announce a couple of registration dates throughout the year so you can purchase one. Also, if you participate in the Fitbit Challenges you have the opportunity to earn great incentives! If you have any questions regarding the Fit Challenges, contact the Wellness department @ ext. 3230.

Additional Wellness Initiatives

In addition to the wellness initiatives mentioned above you will have the opportunity to participate in many more initiatives throughout the year. Watch ReidNet and your e-mail box for announcements.
