Traded up

I traded up my smoking habit for exercise. I started on my new treadmill on Dec.5th and found out that I was very short of breath. you see I have been smoking for 37 years. So on January 5th I quit smoking and started to really take my treadmill to heart. When the weather gets nicer I will be going outside I can hardly wait. I work for the heartland health district in Rosetown as a dietary Aide. I can't tell you how good I feel already. Now I have no bad habits.

C & I Pedometer Challenge for Heart & Stroke

This year for Heart Month the 6th Fl Curriculum Instruction/Learning had a challenged to increase the number of steps we walk each day. With pedometers borrowed from, many of us tracked the number of steps we walked. Our goal was to walk a total of 3 million steps between Feb 14 and March 14. Twenty four staff took part in the activity, and we walked a total of 3 532 336 steps! This is an average of 147 180 per person, or 5256 steps per day per person. There were 7 people who walked over 200,000 steps, and the remarkable “The Walking Machine” had the highest individual total of 420,950 steps!!!!

This activity have inspire people to get active and to stay in motion, and we hope to continue to organize these types of activities in the future.
