Move More Month – April Challenge

Every April, the American Heart Association promotes Move More Month – a push to move your body more to benefit your heart and your mind! We’re tagging along this year and challenging you to wear out your socks in April!

Take 10,000 steps or 20 minutes of intentional exercise daily (with one free day/week). Complete the challenge and you get a pair of Bombas socks! Want to take it up a notch? The employee with the most steps for the month and the employee with the most minutes of exercise for the month win a grand prize – a new pair of tennis shoes (two winners)!

*Sign up is required – email wellnessemp@welia.org no later than Friday, April 1st to ensure your participation prize and chance at the bonus prize
*Get 10,000 steps/day or 20 minutes of intentional exercise/day
