On January 13, 2008 the Walk Team provided an energetic 1 mile "Leslie Walk"
in the Grand Court of Robinson Town Center Mall in Pittsburgh, PA. Many
walkers male and female of all ages participated in this AOM monthly event.
The Walk Team was led by Joanne Carrigan (Grandma Jo); other members of the
Walk Team present were Linda N, Linda A., Cheryl, Nicole, Christine, and
Christina.
America On The Move is a national initiative to improve the health of
individuals by encouraging moderate increases in physical activity and small
reductions in the amount of food that you eat. AOM encourages everyone to
make the following adjustments to daily life:
* Adding 2,000 extra walking steps to your day (the equivalent of 20
extra minutes of activity).
* Reducing your food intake by 100 calories (the equivalent of 1/2 of a
donut or 2 cookies).
America On The Move in Pittsburgh is hosted by the University of Pittsburgh
and directed by Dr.John M. Jakicic, Ph.D., Chair, Department of Health and
Physical Activity. |
