The Steps to a Healthier Rochester program and the Rochester Area Family Y are inviting community members to take "small steps" to promote active living and healthy eating by participating in America on the Move "September" month.

Physically active employees are more productive, report less stress, and have reduced health care costs. Businesses and worksites are encouraged to participate with employees in this incentive-packed, six-week, physical activity promotion!

The America on the Move in Rochester program is a free worksite challenge to motivate and energize employees to get moving. It's a six-week program that begins September 24th and lasts through the first week of November, including prizes and recognition for employees and organizations who participate. Any size employer group is welcome to become involved. Free pedometers (while supplies last) will be given to each employer team who signs up to help track the number of steps.

America On The Move allows you to log steps or minutes of physical activity on a user-friendly web-based system, and have access to recipes, health tips and more using americaonthemove.org. Free pedometers will be given to those who register by September 19th (while supplies last).

Participating in America on the Move is EASY and it’s FREE! Visit stepstoahealthiermn.org and look for America On The Move under the Events Calendar or call Jill, Steps Community Coordinator at Olmsted County Public Health at (507) 287-2130 to find out more.

Register by September 19th!
