WALKING FOR FITNESS PROGRAM

WALKING FOR FITNESS PROGRAM
The program that I am going to put together is a Walking for Fitness Program. This program is going to be aimed towards the nurses and doctors at St. Mary’s Hospital. The age range is for 25-60 year olds. It doesn’t matter what a person’s language or back ground is because it is open to everyone. In this program there are four goals that one would like to see come out of this program. The first goal would be for the participants to feel better about themselves health wise. The second goal is to help participants improve on-the-job time utilization and decision making. The third goal is to have participants become closer with their fellow co-workers. Finally, the last goal would be to help the participants come up with a good walking system. There are many different ways to get participants interested in this walking program. Some things that would keep participants interested in this walking program would be for the team members to create a t-shirt with a slogan on it that is fun and creative. It could say something along the lines of “Walking to Save Lives”. Another aspect would be to have incentives for walking such as having different kinds of awards. A newsletter, and a website for people to read and post comments and thoughts on about their walking experiences. Incentives and awards would be given once a month to those that have walked the farthest distance, and lost the most weight. These incentives are related to the program goals because these incentives will help participants to see and realize how important it is to stay healthy. If the participants choose trails that are safe, this will cut back on the amou0nts of injuries. In order for us to have a long term success rate, we would have to have the support of other people in the community. Also, by the Walking for Fitness Program providing different types of activities this would allow more people to
