Step It Up

Step It Up: Lifelong Fitness Alliance and Avenidas in collaboration with the Stanford Health Improvement Program's Stepping Out have started a ten week program to encourage individuals and communities to "step up" their overall wellness through informaton, encouragement, goal-setting and incentives. The next Step It Up programs will begin October 1 with various kickoffs including an Open House at our office, 658 Bair Island Rd Suite 200, Redwood City, CA.

Each group will have an Ambassador who will be the liaison between the sponsoring groups and their own group of walkers. The Ambassador will be responsible for distributing and collecting information and ensuring proper tracking. Participants will sign a commitment form/waiver to be turned by the launch party or by the start of the program. Participants will also be given name tags, a pedometer, instructions and tips on successful participation. There will be incentives (t-shirts, raffles, and other sponsor prizes) that are given as people progress through the program.

If think you would be interested in the Fall groups please contact Lifelong Fitness at (650) 361-8282 or send an email to info@lifelongfitnessalliance.org. Enrollments will be on a first come/first served basis, and there will be no charge for the first 200 enrollees.
