SUMMING UP SUM 2009!
l
“Becoming more healthy and active has brought a
new life to my marriage and our family. I use to
be the mom that just sat and watched people play
frisbee or fly kites or run in the park with
their kids and I drove by the
person walking their
dog in the evening... Now, I AM that person
playing with my son and walking my dog!
I am loving it!!!”

"Our employees truly
enjoy this program and the team building
they are able to do with it. The best
comment I hear is
'I love that we get to do
this (program) as a team and compete with
other teams.'
Shape Up is the only program we offer that
has a team-oriented focus. We have
seen a steady increase in the participation
levels over the past three years since we
starting offering it and know our employees
look forward to it each year”

The Shape
Up Program is a great way to jump into
spring activity. The articles and exercises
are helpful and informative, while adding
variety to my exercise and diet choices.

was wonderful and made my role as a
"team leader" very easy.”
