A new Wellness program for the Berkshire Community, with a goal of exercising 150 minutes a week.
Runs April 18th to May 29th, 2021, but you can start anytime within that timeframe!
The CDC recommends a minimum of 150 minutes each week of moderate intensity aerobic activity. This includes anything that gets your heart pumping. For ideas, check out https://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/basics/adults/index.htm
Tracking minutes: Keep track of your exercise minutes daily - on your phone, on a calendar or an app such as myfitnesspal.com. Submit total # of minutes weekly using the online report form here: Each week when you submit your exercise log, you will earn 1 ticket that is automatically entered toward the drawing for prizes at the end of the program. You can earn up to 6 tickets (1 per week).
We will put up the Tracking Minutes Link soon!
Weekly email: Participants will receive a weekly email, which will include healthy tips, recipes, and events details.
Prize drawing: Held at the end of the program, 10 prizes will be awarded to random Berkshire 150 participants. To be entered in the drawing, track & submit your 150 minutes of exercise weekly. You can earn up to 6 tickets (1 per week), plus 3 bonus tickets (see below), for a total of 9 chances.
Bonus tickets: Participants will have the opportunity to engage in 3 photo submissions for bonus tickets. Specific photo engagements will come out in the weekly email.
Note: All photos submitted to Berkshire 150 give permission to use on all BHS and social media platforms.
