Walking Programs PDF Print E-mail

Walking is a simple way to get employees moving as a means to stimulate their energy and intellectual creativity allowing them to reap health rewards like:

  • Improved muscle tone, bone strength, memory, immune function, the “good” cholesterol, sleep, healing and self-esteem.
  • Lowered blood pressure, stress, body weight and the “bad” cholesterol.

Our walking programs, founded on goals and motivational tools that support behaviour change, will result in an easy and fun way to get your workforce moving along the continuum of health.

 

Pedometers – H-215 Series

All of our walking programs use the H-215 series pedometers.

Pedometers are easy to use and are an optimal way to marry the joy of movement with the measurement of movement.  Pedometers work well as a visual, physical component of a wellness program as well as a marketing tool participants happily show to others. 

Some organizations use pedometers as incentives to join a challenge, as recognition for passing a milestone and as prizes at the end of a challenge. Regardless of how they are used, pedometers are a symbolic and practical icon for good health and fitness.

Many manufacturers will sacrifice reliability to offer a better price. Our pedometers are accurate, durable and are powered by replaceable watch batteries so that they can be used year-after-year.

On-Line Tracking Tools

Tracking tools enable employees and students to record healthy behaviour in a fun and exciting way. Easy to use mapping technology and fitness tracking tools excite users as they work to reach recommended exercise levels. 

We offer two tracking tools to help you get the most from your health and wellness strategy and budget.

 

CoreLite

This program bundles our H-215 series Pedometer (197KB PDF) with a trilingual (English, French, Spanish) physical activity tracking tool. Each pedometer comes with a complimentary registration code for the CoreLite tracking software (917KB PDF).

Easy to use mapping technology and fitness tracking tools excite users as they work to reach recommended exercise levels. Users log walking, biking and any other physical activity as they watch their ‘avatar’ take a virtual journey to an exotic destination.

Whether users choose Cross Canada, the Great Wall of China or Amazing Amazon, our nine virtual journeys are sure to motivate. Social networking is also available as fitness Buddies support each other’s progress.

Optional corporate site utilization reporting and custom journey design is also available. This site can be upgraded to the Wellness Tracker program when you are ready for the full wellness tracking program.

Contact us today for more information or to request a software demonstration. 

 

Wellness Tracker

Peak your returns with inspirational wellness for the workplace! Fun health competitions educate staff while motivating them through fitness, weight loss, nutrition and other online health challenges.

Wellness Tracker (1.5MB PDF) contains social support tools and special technologies designed to help people achieve sustainable healthier lifestyles. It no longer matters in which office your employees work (or if they have an office at all) because this program unites everyone in a single, powerful wellness program. 

  • Fitness and steps (197KB PDF) competitions
  • Proactive weight loss contests
  • Nutrition and behaviour challenges (e.g., Yoga, Smoking Cessation, Sleep, etc.)
  • Personal, individual and team goals
  • Peer mentoring and teamwork tools
  • Motivating reminders and health tips

While the purchase of pedometers is not a pre-requisite for this program, we urge employers to consider complimenting the Wellness Tracker with H-215 model pedometers.

Wellness Tracker is a breeze to implement and will save your wellness team time and money. We provide training, best practice education and admin support with every site. Your appointed company site administrator(s) can also set up pre and post surveys and generate reports that are Privacy Act compliant. 

All this for $10 per employee (per year)!
