Let’s Commit To Be Fit |
Get on the wellness trail by walking
Steps to keep fit and decompress at work from Casey Brinker, Wellness Program coordinator.
Walking during the workday is easy with wellness trails indoors and outdoors at Christiana Care’s hospital campuses. Look for trail maps at MyWellness on the portal.
INDOOR TRAILS at Christiana Hospital and Wilmington Hospital are clearly marked so employees can get in a quick walk during the workday or even plan a walk-and-talk meeting.
THE EAST LAKE LOOP near the Graham Cancer Center is one mile – about a 15-minute jaunt.
THE CAMPUS COURSE, a 2.4-mile loop around the Christiana Hospital campus, takes about 38 minutes to complete.
There’s an app for that. Break it up. You can do it.
Want to track how many steps you take or how many calories you are burning? Check out apps you can download on your phone. Devices such as Fitbit and GarminTM trackers are eligible items for your employee fitness and wellness reimbursement of up to $100 a year.
If your goal is walking 30 minutes a day, you don’t have to carve out a half hour of uninterrupted time. You will realize the same health benefits by walking three times a day for 10 minutes at a time.
Even if you aren’t athletically inclined, you can successfully establish a walking routine. Start slow, walking for five minutes or so, then add minutes as you progress. 
