| The Australian Walkabout Adventure Begins June 20, 2010
The Kaiser Permanente employee wellness program is bringing you a new challenge.This program was created to help the people of KP make physical activity a fun, regular habit. This program will provide you with an opportunity to participate in physical activity on a team with co-workers.
It is time to put a team together and think of a name for your team. Starting the week of June 14 you will be able to go
online and input all of your team information. The walking begins the week of June 20. You will then track your team progress through this on-line program.
Teams will have three to five participants each. Team members should be from the same department, this can be a great Team Building activity.
Your goal as an individual is to walk a minimum of 30 minutes per day at least five days a week. The goal as a team is to walk 5,173 virtual miles in five weeks (6/20/10 to 07/25/10), the distance traveling from Cairns to Perth, Australia.
The goal of the challenge is to meet your five weekly milestones as a group, to make time to walk daily and to have fun!
There will be prizes along the way!
A perpetual trophy will be awarded to the winning Team! This trophy will be passed on to the winning team of our future Walking Challenges.
