The Greater Shepparton on the Moove Pedometer Challenge was held from Monday 25th August 2008 to Sunday 15th September 2008. The program was facilitated through the Greater Shepparton on the Moove focus group which is a program that links directly to the Greater Shepparton City Council’s Municipal Public Health Plan. The aims of the Greater Shepparton on the Moove Pedometer Challenge were;
- To increase the participation in walking over a four week period
- To educate the community on how many steps they were currently undertaking on a daily basis
- To promote physical activity, nutrition programs and activities which are currently offered to residents in Greater Shepparton.
The Pedometer Challenge was deemed a success based on the significant amount of participants undertaking the challenge and the participant feedback at the conclusion. The aims of the Challenge were also met through the education of participants throughout the four week Challenge. Overall the Challenge was a massive success in raising the awareness of the benefits of walking in our community.
