10,000 Steps makes a difference
To date, more than 40,000 people have participated in this innovative physical activity program, which gives participants a free pedometer and encourages them to take at least 10,000 steps (or do an equivalent amount of other activity) a day. That’s enough to achieve 30 minutes of moderate physical activity — and burn an extra 150 calories — each day.

Recent surveys indicate:

  • Most participants report feeling better overall and having more energy.
  • 81% of participants feel the program helped them increase their physical activity.
  • Participants who track their steps for eight weeks average a five-pound weight loss!
Each time an employee choosing 10,000 Steps logs their steps online, they will be entered in a monthly drawing for their choice of:

  • $599 toward a one-year single YMCA membership at any of the metro Twin Cities' 21 locations
    • OR
  • $240 toward membership at any area health club contracted with HealthPartners
    • OR
  • $500 off a purchase of $1,000 or more at 2nd Wind Exercise Equipment
A total of 12 prizes will be awarded throughout the year. Please note that these prizes are non-transferable.
