Welcome Back Participants and Welcome new ones!!!!
After a year hiatus- we are starting this year with a new name-MOVE.POLK COUNTY, hoping to encourage everyone not just to walk but to MOVE to a healthier lifestyle.
MOVE. POLK COUNTY encourages all types of movement and activity. Walking, gardening, biking, kayaking and everyday chores..... Simply mark each square on your map for every 30 minutes of activity. Regular movement helps, our body, mind and spirit! Just 30 minutes of activity a day can help reduce stress, increase energy, improve sleep, maintain a health body weight and build healthy muscles. In addition, regular physical activity reduces the risk of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
MOVE.POLK COUNTY will start Monday, July 8th and run 8 weeks through September 3rd. Attached, please find the 2019 MPC map. Weekly motivation e-mails will begin Monday, July 8th highlighting PC trails and health and fitness facts again this year. Complete your map and turn it in for a chance to win prizes, drawings will occur biweekly and a final cash prize at the end.
