Let's Get Moving Northern Michigan!  Here is how to begin!

Step 1:  Set a personal goal for your 100 day journey to good health.

Step 2:  Complete the LGMNM registration and Par-Q form and forward it to OMH.

Step 3:  Get out and enjoy our northern Michigan summer!

Step 4:  Submit your miles often by fax, phone, direct mail or email.

Although the program was initially designed as a walking program, any activity that provides aerobic exercise is acceptable.  For example, you may walk, run, swim, bike, skate, work in the garden or mow the lawn.  All of these activities, and many more, are easily converted to miles by using the conversion chart that is provided in the registration packet.  Your goal may be 10 miles, or 20 miles, or as many as 500 miles in 100 days.  Make your goal realistic for you!  If you are currently inactive we suggest you start with a manageble goal to help you reach your goal and experience success.  On the other hand, if you are very active you may want to challenge yourself by setting a higher goal for yoourself.  It is a personal decision how much you wish to accomplish.  And don't forget there are bonus points available!  You get 50 extra points/miles just for being a nonsmoker (minimum of 6 months).  Bonus miles are also available for keeping a food journal (1 mile for every week of journaling), eating fruits or vegetables daily and for drinking 6-8 glasses of water daily.  The final deadline for turning in miles is August 31, 2007.
