Green Bay On The Move Week September 20 - 26

Get Moving Green Bay! Help us reach our goal of 140 million steps!

GB on Move 2010America On the Move Week with the YMCA is all about the small changes we can make in our habits that add up to big benefits for long-term health. Research from America On the Move Foundation has shown that incorporating healthier behavior into our daily routines at home, work and school does make a difference. Adding just 2,000 extra steps and eating 100 fewer calories each day are enough to help most Americans prevent the current average annual weight gain of 1-2 pounds.

Walk with us at the American Heart Association Heart Walk on Saturday, September 18. Monday begins our FREE Y WEEK at our four YMCA locations. Come in for FREE this week Setember 20 - 26!
