Let's Eat Healthy! In The Spotlight

Staff Physical Activity Challenge

UC CalFresh staff recently completed a two-week physical activity statewide challenge. The nutrition educators piloted a new smartphone app to be used with the Eating Smart, Being Active adult nutrition education curriculum. Staff reported that the challenge motivated them to move more, whether it was walking in the evening around their neighborhood, utilizing exercise equipment at home or simply parking the car farther away from the grocery store. Every step counts, and the UC CalFresh staff demonstrated this during their physical activity competition. Altogether, the team of five accumulated 395,527 steps and almost 24 hours of additional physical activity!
