Just MOVE! It


Just signed up for Move! Weight Management Program's 2009 Champions' Challenge. Only half way through my day and I already feel accomplished. Although it's not required for my clinical rotation, I figured, why not? I'm pretty confident that it will help (not harm) my goal to reach a healthy body weight range...and I'm always, always, up for a challenge!

What is it?

Move! is a national weight management program designed by the VA National Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (NCP), a part of the Office of Patient Care Services, to help veterans lose weight, keep it off and improve their health.

NCP and Veterans Canteen Service (VCS) are partnering to sponsor this challenge. This year's challenge is designed to help promote the new US Department of Health and Human Services 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans .


When is it?
March 29, 2009-June 20, 2009

Goal?

To complete 150 minutes or more of moderate intensity physical activity for 8 out of 12 weeks during the challenge. Online registration is open from March 29, 2009 - April 30, 2009 at www.move.va.gov/challenge.asp


What's in it for me?
On top of all the benefits of daily physical activity, I will be earning milestone prizes along the way! All participants who complete the challenge will be eligible for entry into a national prize drawing sponsored by Veterans Canteen Service!


So what are you waiting for?
BE ACTIVE YOUR WAY VA!...and MOVE!
