Friendly competition motivates exercise
Once a year in May, the wellness directors at multiple Erickson Retirement Communities get together to plan a day that will motivate as many residents as possible to exercise. They calculate the mileage and time to travel among the communities, then challenge residents to "travel" that distance through exercise. This year the total mileage between all campuses was 1,163 miles; it would take 45,520 minutes to travel them. These numbers were the program goal.
This is a benefit of membership. If you are not an ICAA member you will need to purchase a membership for access. To learn more here
