Are you up for the...Pedometer Challenge!!

This month we want everyone moving.

Remember to sign up now for the pedometer challenge which starts on January 4th. There are only a few days left!!! We want everyone to get involved. If you knew how much steps/energy you expended in a normal day, would you be compelled to do more? We feel that knowing this info is a crititcal step in the right direction to improved health. Great New Year's Resolutions can be accomplished with this challenge of just increasing the amount you walk. Commit!

Stop by the office on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday (December 28, 29, 30) or last chance on Monday (January 4) to get registered, receive your gift bag and pedometer. For your convenience, below is more information on this challenge.

Thursday January 14th at 6:30 PM - Don't miss it! Dr. Cynowa is doing a special event on "Tired of Wondering if Exercise Does Any Good?" You will receive the motivation you need with this discussion on Exercise/Fitness and why you need to move. Exercises and stretches will be taught using the exercise ball and exercise bands so you can develop your own routine at home. Dr. Cynowa will also be discussing the role the central nervous system plays in exercise and daily activities. Bonus for attendees only: $5 off the purchase of your stability ball! Plus a demonstration for exercises to do with your new ball.
January Only Sale:
55 cm stability ball $25

More Info on the Pedometer Challenge...
On January 4, 2010, Complete Wellness Chiropractic is partnering with Tega Cay Parks & Recreation and Piedmont Medical Center to offer our patients, families and friends the “TEGA CAY PEDOMETER CHALLENGE”!

“10,000 Steps a Day”

While the Tega Cay Pedometer Challenge does involve an age/gender group competition, the most important aspect of the Challenge is to facilitate a smart and healthy approach to becoming more active.
Whether you are out to win your age category or simply increase you fitness- always consult with a physician before beginning a new exercise program.

· Most people only take 3,000 steps a day.
· Walking an additional 7,000 steps a day offers significant healthy benefits, cutting the risk of many diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and osteoporosis.
· 10,000 steps is a goal many achieve whatever the starting point.
· It is unrealistic to go immediately to 10,000 for someone who has not been active.
· It is important to improve gradually and in line with your limitations.
To Get Started:

· Sign up at the front desk or
· Email us at wellness @cwchiro.com or
· Call 704-899-5000 or 1-866-400-8480
· $5.00
Includes:

· Your very own pedometer and Tracking chart to monitor your progress.
· Tracking and recognition of all individuals who reach their milestones
· A Heath Fair to wrap up the challenge, announcement of winners and vendor giveaways.
