Principle 2: Get Moving

Get Moving

For everyone—adults, children, the elderly—some physical activity is better than none. Get the OK from your doctor, then strap on a pedometer and find out how much activity you regularly do. Gradually add activity over several weeks and build to a goal of 10,000 steps a day.

Once you have been active at that level for a while, add something new. Consider adding a muscle-strengthening activity twice a week. Make physical activity fun by asking friends and family to join you. Turn it into a gift of health for you and benefit others by participating in a Wegmans-sponsored walk. Commit to a healthier better life—Get Moving!

Communities Get Moving

Part of “Who We Are” is giving back to the community. One way Wegmans does this is by sponsoring walks that benefit organizations like Celiac Awareness and Breast Cancer. Participating is a great way to show your support, but it also benefits you! Most events have a defined distance such as a 5-mile walk.

To safely participate you need to be prepared to endure the demands of the event. So, pick one that will benefit a cause you believe in and train to participate. Why do it alone? Get a group of co-workers to join along. It just may be the motivation you all need to keep moving!
