SUMMING UP SUM 2007!

lEveryone was excited to participate and it seemed to bring folks together for a cause. It was nice to see people inviting others from the teams to walk about during off times. As for myself, it was good to get started on a regime of exercise and to know that I will be continuing that program all through the summer months. Shapeup or Ship Out!, Havre Public Schools
 
lI was already into a long term pattern of working out 5 days a week. The materials on the web-site were interesting and created more knowledge for me, as well as awareness regarding ways I can do better. Team Badabing, U.S. Probation Office
l
Shape Up MT got me motivated to start exercising again and by being on a team I felt I needed to exercise even if I didn't want to, so I wouldn't let down my team.  Shape Shifters, State of Montana
l
Having the log sheet made me more aware of the exercising that I was doing and that I wanted to do better each month. Also with springtime coming up I will be doing more exercising with outdoor activities. I am going to continue to use a log sheet for my miles for the rest of the year. Thank you for a great program.
The Chosen Few, Big Timber

The program surprised everyone on our team on what a good motivator it was. 
The little tips,articles and reminders were great and feeling like you were part of
a larger effort really was a motivating factor. Showdown in the Rockies, Saint Patrick’s Hospital, Missoula


We CAN change inactivity and overweight trends with grass roots efforts that begin   with one person who inspires another, who inspires another, who inspires another…… Shape Up Montana…..“Changing the Shape of our State!”
