Take A Hike! Challenge Results

The Take A Hike Challenge was a fun way for Healthy Lifestyle participants to have fun in the sun while recieving Healthy Lifestyles points.

The goal was to promote at least 90 minutes of physical activity each week by highlighting different local hiking trails.

Here are the results:
  • 281 People signed up for the Challenge
  • Over 379,246 minutes were hiked (That's 263 straight days of exercise!!) 

What some participants said:
"I LOVE these challenges. It pushes me. I am one that exercises very little. This weekend, I hiked the Gratto in Payson Canyon, Devils Kitchen (not just the lookout point, but down the trail and back up again) and Saturday, I hiked to the P in Payson. This was a BIG deal for me. I can hardly move this morning, but I had a blast. I think the point is to push us a little beyond our comfort point and try new and healthy adventures. I really love this program...and to those of you that work out, or toward competitions - well you all really inspire me. I think that is just awesome." 

"I had a lot of fun with this competition exploring all the different trails around Utah County. I made it a goal of mine to be more physically active and tried to involve my family in the hikes I took." 

A big THANKS to all of those who participated! Great job and stay active!
