From Sedentary to Strong: The Move More Month Game Plan
April is Move More Month: Small Steps, Big Impact
If the thought of tracking miles feels overwhelming, don’t worry—you don’t have to go from couch to marathon overnight. The key is simple: just move more. If you’re currently averaging 1,000 steps a day, aim for 1,500–2,000 and gradually increase. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress.
This April, challenge yourself and your residents to embrace movement in fun, attainable ways. Here’s how you can make it happen:
Step or Mileage Challenge: Turn movement into a friendly competition by tracking steps or miles. Celebrate milestones and offer small prizes to keep motivation high.
On-Site Fitness Classes: Tailor fitness classes to your community’s demographics. Whether it’s yoga, low-impact aerobics, or strength training, make it accessible and inclusive.
Personal Trainer Sessions: Bring in a personal trainer for a free demonstration or offer discounted sessions to residents looking to jump-start their fitness journey.
Daily Movement Goals: Encourage residents to simply move more than the day before. Whether it's taking the stairs, stretching, or dancing in the living room—every bit counts!
The key to success is keeping the goals realistic and the experience enjoyable. Make it fun, offer incentives, and inspire your community to get moving this April!
