To kick off 2008 the Healthy Heart project staff organized a “Just Move It” challenge at the Albuquerque Indian Health Center. The challenge was open to patients and staff at the facility. Participants earned a free just move it t-shirt and a water bottle. To earn the t-shirt and water bottle participants had to register with the Healthy Heart project staff and keep a record of any physical activity they did for 1 week. Once their record was complete they turned it back in for their “Just Move It” prizes. We had a total of 114 people register to participate! We gave people from Jan. 11th thru the end of Feb. to turn in their exercise records and 91 participants completed it in that time frame. And the numbers are… out of the 91 people who completed their activity reports 77 reported a total time of 496 hours of physical activity! 4 individuals recorded their activity in miles and their total distance was 50 miles! And 10 individuals didn’t record time or distance but still reported doing daily activities like walking, running, sit ups, playing basketball, aerobics, and taking the stairs! Good job to all 91 of you who accepted the challenge to Just Move It! Thanks to all who participated and remember to keep up the good work.
