Dear Friends,
During your twelve-week competition, Shape Up & Go! participants at Cleveland Clinic demonstrated a remarkable spirit in pursuing a healthy lifestyle. The competition may have come to an end, but this is just the beginning of a much happier, healthier life for many--including you, we hope!
There were some amazing results from the competition. Participants on average lost 5.3 pounds, exercised for 25 minutes per day, and walked 6,396 steps per day.
Together, participants lost 14,822 pounds, exercised for 7,141,617 minutes, and walked 2,230,767,826 steps (1.1 million miles, or 45 times around the earth).
Congratulations to all teams!
At the beginning of the competition, we announced an incentive for teams that achieved 100% reporting (all participants reported their results for all six rounds) by the end of the program. Among those teams, one team was randomly selected to win the grand prize of $500!
The winning team is Bad To The Bone from Westlake Orthopedics/ENT/Occupational Therapy!
Congratulations to team captain Maggie Polito-Butcho and her team members Everest Gorski, Lynn Riley, Karen Florjancic, Karen Naeem, Pamela Millar, Denise Brisbine, Tammy Bevelacqua, Riana Hummer, and Cheryl Sippel.
The Shape Up & Go! competition showed many participants how to take control of their health and their lives. Through the power of teamwork, this competition has also brought participants closer to their families, friends, and co-workers -- a true gift in itself.
We are extremely proud of all teams. The feedback about this program has been so great and your responses have been so plentiful and favorable that we've decided to do it again! Stay tuned for information about the next round--Shape Up & Go! Outside.
We hope you remember us and keep walking--stay young and active..and watch those steps!!!
Cheers!
Yours In Health,
The Cleveland Clinic Employee Wellness Team
