What you need to know about "On the Move"

 

1.                Fax or e-mail your completed registration form (see below) to Matt Meyers, Bee-Fit Wellness Coordinator, – (314) 612-1488 or MeyersM@stlouiscity.com – beginning April 11.  All registration forms must be turned in by the start of the program on May 2.

 

2.                Each participant in On the Move will receive a free Bee-Fit pedometer and a tracking log at the kick-off rally on April 28. [Please note: the Associated Document link on this page is downloadable tracking log form.]

 

3.                  Start wearing your pedometer every day beginning May 2. Put it on when you get up in the morning and wear it until bed time.

 

4.                  Record your daily steps in the provided tracking log. By the end of week one, you will know your average daily steps.  This will be your benchmark to improve on.

 

5.                  Continue recording your daily steps in your tracking log each day for six weeks. Each week you are challenged to increase your average daily steps by 500 steps per day.  (Example: If you currently average 3000 steps each day, your goal for week one is 3500 each day. Your week 2 goal is 4000 each day. Continue to increase each week by 500 steps.)

 

6.                  At the end of the six weeks – June 17 – you will turn in your completed tracking logs to Matt Meyers.  All logs are due no later than June 24.

 

7.                  All participants are encouraged to attend the recognition ceremony on June 29.  Those who have met or exceeded the recommended average increase of 500 steps per day will be recognized.  Top finishers, showing the largest increase, may receive an award.
