Wellness Updates: Next Step Challenge & Healthiest State Walk Coming Soon

Next Step Challenge Through Live Healthy Iowa
For the third year, Heartland AEA will be participating in the Next Step Challenge through Live Healthy Iowa. Heartland AEA Wellness will cover the cost of participation, which is $10 per person, and agency teams of 2-10 people can compete. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Get your 2-10 person team together and nominate a team captain.
2. The team captain will then go to www.livehealthyiowa.org, click on the area that says “start a team” on the right side of the page and enter LHIHAEA11 as the Group ID to register his/her team.
3. The team captain will register all of his or her team members, selecting ‘LHI Pedometer’ from the promotional item drop down box for each team member who needs a pedometer.
4. Team members will then log their steps through the Live Healthy Iowa website. 

The contest will start Sept. 8 and run through Oct. 17, so get a team together and sign up before Aug. 29! 

If you have any questions about the program or about registering, contact Tony Chiaramonte, Human Resources Manager, at tchiaramonte@heartlandaea.org or ext. 14534.
