Train Your Way 5K
Walking Wednesdays
Join your co-workers in starting a more regular walking habit. Walking is an inexpensive way to get physical activity and is associated with many health benefits.
On Wednesdays of every month, DHSS employees who walk for 30 minutes during the workday will be allowed to wear blue jeans and tennis shoes for that day. Employees who have Worksite Wellness, Get-the-Shot and Missouri 100 Mile Challenge, State 5K, Show Me State/Senior Games, or Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October only) tee shirts are encouraged to wear those also. The 30 minutes can be broken up into three 10 or two 15 minute segments but employees must use their lunch hour or break time for their walk.
Track the Wednesdays you walk on the quarterly log. Employees who turn in their tracking log by the 10th day of October, January, April or July will be entered into a quarterly drawing for a healthy prize! Winners will be notified by email.
Some buildings have been marked with an indoor fitness loop to encourage employees to stay active during weather extremes. If your building is not one of these, read these instructions on creating an indoor fitness loop.
