Franklin/Grand Isle Winter Move More

FRANKLIN/GRAND ISLE WINTER MOVE MORE
Winter Move More is a 12-week, incentive program to help motivate folks to move more all winter long. With prizes and volunteer-led weekly walks, physical activity doesn’t have to come to an end in the cold Vermont months. Participants log every 15 minutes of activity and receive prizes at 300 minutes, 900 minutes and at the final 1800 minutes.

If you’re interested in signing up for Winter Move More or for leading a weekly walk in your area, contact Amy Brewer at 524-1296 or abrewer@nmcinc.org.
 
Franklin/Grand Isle Move More!

Franklin/Grand Isle Move More!

By now you may have heard about Franklin Grand Isle Move More. In the spring and again in the fall of 2006, we coordinated 12 week physical activity celebrations. We provided incentives to over 200 individuals who worked hard to move more and more and more. Congratulations to all those who participated.

This January, we’re trying a Winter Move More. Winter is often the hardest time to be physically active. Let’s be honest, it’s cold out there, sidewalks aren’t always plowed, and it gets dark so early! With that said, there is a lot one can do in the cold months. We’ll do our best to identify indoor locations available to walkers and work to help folks who want to be outside with tips on staying warm and safe.

If you’re new to the Move More program, Move More is a free, 12-week physical activity celebration where anyone who enrolls is eligible to receive prizes for their activity. Individuals log each 15 minutes of activity on their personal log and receive prizes when they reach 300 minutes, 900 minutes and 1800 minutes of physical activity. To help folks reach their goals, volunteer-led, group walks are scheduled every week. The walks are open to anyone to join at any time.

Are you interested in enrolling? Are you interested in volunteering to lead a weekly walk in your area? Everyone is welcome. Please contact Amy Brewer at 524-1296 or abrewer@nmcinc.org for more information or to enroll.
