MONROE - Let's Get Moo-ving is a week-long physical activity challenge from April 23-29 for companies in Green County. This wellness challenge is sponsored by the Green County Healthy Community Coalition.
The purpose of this challenge is to encourage participants to incorporate physical activity in their daily routine, encourage healthier lifestyle habits and build awareness of the recreational resources that Green County has to offer. Throughout the challenge, each participant must accumulate at least 150 minutes of physical activity in order to qualify as a "participant" and count towards the company's total minutes of activity. Participants are encouraged to complete at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day.
All participating Green County businesses will be divided into categories based on active employee count. Each participating business will receive a comprehensive toolkit to aid in implementing the challenge and will designate a coordinator within their company who is responsible for using the toolkit to promote activities, track the number of participants, collect T-shirt orders if applicable and report the total minutes of physical activity each participant achieved within his/her company.
The coordinator will report participant numbers to the Green County Healthy Community Coalition, who will determine the winning business of each category within the county, based on percentage of participation. In case of a tie, the overall company total physical activity minutes will be used.
Businesses are encouraged to offer GCHCC wellness challenge T-shirts to their employees to help promote the challenge. Each business can choose how they want to charge for shirts: full, partial or no subsidization of the cost.
