Lighten Up is a fun, team based wellness initiative from Step Up and our partners. The 100 Day Challenge begins January 19 and runs through April 29, 2010. Your team of two to ten adults can compete with other teams in Greendale and across Wisconsin in the Weight Loss Division, Activity Division or Total Fitness Division. Register now. It is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Form a Team: Gather 2 or more co-workers, family members, neighbors, or friends. Choose a team name and a team captain.
2. Choose a Division: Choose the weight loss, activity or total fitness division for the same fee of $16 per person. (The money goes to the Lighten Up program)
3. Register Your Team: Go to www.lightenupwisconsin.com/S10055 The team captain should register on-line first. Then team members can register individually, using the team name or number. Each person enters their activities/exercise at any time and it will be added to the team total.
   

Your registration fee includes a wealth of innovative resources including: interactive website with Team Page, online training log and activity tracker (privacy protected), online food journal, team message board, online health and fitness discussion forum, weekly tips from Wisconsin health professionals, weekly incentive challenges, free participation in the Healthy Holidays Challenge 2010, AND a Headsweats training cap!

If you don’t have a team, join ours. Call the Health Department for the team code numbers.
