As our Virtual Walk to Los Angeles continues, we keep seeing references to the importance of exercise and movement. To help promote walking and general movement, our Activities Department is sponsoring a ‘walk’ to Los Angeles, along Route 66. Many of our Birches associates and residents are wearing pedometers throughout the day and turning in their step counts that are added together and converted into how far along the way from Clarendon Hills to L.A. we are.
Right now, I think we have already made it through St. Louis and into Missouri. Associates (staff) wear their pedometers while at work, and some residents wear theirs whenever they are up and about. It’s something fun and helps us all focus on the health benefits of walking.
