• Spring Into Motion - Registration Opens 3/26. Spring has arrived and it’s time to enjoy the great outdoors and get moving! This year the Health Promotion Program is offering an innovative program, “Spring Into Motion”. All BNL and BHSO employees are welcome to join, but space is limited to the first 200 people, so don't delay! The program is accessed online from your work or home computer. It’s an invigorating journey to better health. Choose any physical activities you like whether you’re a beginner or an avid enthusiast. Spring Into Motion will help you build a fitness habit to last a lifetime. Your goal is to accumulate 40 or more springers (springers are little characters that represent your activity) during the 8-week program by recording daily steps. The idea is to have a challenging target and to develop exercise habits you can maintain for good. Everyone can get moving this spring and experience success — whether you’re just starting out or are already an avid exerciser. Spring Into Motion encourages consistency for beginners and challenges even the fittest enthusiasts to step up their activity. Register now to take advantage of the fun tracking tools and great exercising resources. Information on picking up your pedometer is available on the program site when you register.
