PHASE II: 2007

More Steps a Day... the Weigh Out Way!
May 21 - July 29, 2007 Welcome to KGWO Phase II Fun Pedometer Challenge.... We are thrilled that you want to participate. KGWO Phase II begins Monday, May 21st and runs through Sunday, July 29th.

This program is based on improving your personal best and points are awarded for attaining your own personal weekly step goals. Each individual will have different baseline numbers. We encourage you to increase your steps each week until you reach an increase of 15% or more of your original baseline number. It's easy, it's gradual and it's FUN!

You will be establishing individual weekly goals based on your baseline number of steps. Each week you achieve your personal weekly goal, you receive 10 points.

How the program works:

1) Fill out a registration form

2) Attend a 15 minute Pedometer Workshop

3) Find your baseline: Wear your pedometer for a week and don't change your normal routine. Log your steps daily on the log sheet provided. At the end of the week you will be able to see how many steps you take in your day to day living. (See example on log sheet)

4) Set a personal goal for yourself: You will be setting personal step goals for yourself weekly. See log sheets for example.

5) Complete Phase II log sheets (PDF) or (Word File - Right click to download it!) (details on log sheets)

6) Submit your log sheets every 2 weeks basis to Ho'ola Lahui Hawai`i (details on log sheet and on page 2)

8) Pick up Fabulous prizes.

Did you know that in the course of a typical day, most of us will walk anywhere from 900 to 3000 steps without even thinking about it. With the right motivation you should be able to work yourself up to 10,000 steps per day, which is where studies show you get the maximum benefit. Taking 10,000 steps per day is equivalent to walking approximately 5 miles a day. (2000 - 2200 steps equals approximately 1 mile.)
