YourCompany's Just Step!

12-Week Pedometer Walking Program

August 21st – November 12th, 2006

MyCompany's Just Step! program is designed to get you walking! Keep track of your steps as you walk and receive fun incentives along the way. The program requires the use of a pedometer, which will be provided by MyCompany. Your goal is to achieve at least 10,000 steps per day while virtually waking to MyCompany sites throughout the U.S.

Here’s how the pedometer program works:

  1. Click on the Sign Up link on the left-hand side of this page to get started. You will fill out a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) and create a username and password for logging into the Just Step! website.

  2. Pick up your free pedometer at your site during the days/times listed below. Once the program starts, Clip on your pedometer first thing in the morning. Wear your pedometer throughout the day. If you are concerned with losing your pedometer, safety straps can be purchased by clicking the Order Pedometer button above.
