Rewards for Life Participants RSVP’d “Yes!” to the Invitational Team Step Challenge
Congratulations to all who completed the Rewards for Life® program’s Invitational Team Step Challenge. The POWER Wellness team is proud of everyone who battled other teams in head-to-head competition for five weeks.
702 participants answered the call to group into teams of five for weekly match-ups while also walking 10,000 steps on at least 15 days over the course of the challenge. 414 participants achieved that goal—and received points in the Rewards for Life program. Very impressive!
Congratulations, too, to the twelve spirited teams that won their match-up every single week:
- Royal Moose
- Maroon Foxes
- Sienna Deer
- Cyclamen Rockets
- Turquoise Raccoons
- Purple Panther 2
- Crimson Impalas
- Red Roosters 2
- Red Huskies
- Emerald Rhinos
- Gold Wildcats
- Emerald Rockets
In total, Invitational Team Step Challenge participants walked over 224 million steps, which is over 112,000 miles. That’s far enough to walk around the Earth four-and-a-half times! Additionally, five people walked, jogged or ran over a million steps each. Well done!
Furthermore, five lucky teams were selected at random to receive a $100 Visa gift card for each team member:
- Platinum Dragons
- Emerald Vipers
- Red Catfish
- Royal Cougars
- Cobalt Twisters
NRECA’s POWER Wellness team congratulates the winners and every participant for putting in the effort to improve their health and well-being by getting up and walking, jogging or running.
We look forward to the 2019 challenges, all of which are completely new to the Rewards for Life program: an activity challenge, a sugar moderation challenge and a community service challenge.
The Rewards for Life program is an incentivized work site wellness program available at no additional cost to all cooperatives that participate in the NRECA Medical Plan. To learn more, email wellnessprogram@nreca.coop.
