Walk Georgia
In an effort to increase physical activity at May Howard we will start using Walk Georgia. Walk Georgia is a Web-based program designed with the goal of increasing your physical activity within the setting of an online community. How you participate is up to you; take part in Walk Georgia as an individual, become part of a group through your work or school, or form your own group. Then you can track your progress and see how you stack up against other individuals in your county and the state. The online component of Walk Georgia provides you with the tools to record your physical activity, time spent exercising and the difficulty of your activities. This information is translated into points through a system based on a modern and scientifically sound formula. We hope you will be inspired to join us and others in your county and Georgia as we get more active and become healthier! Walk Georgia is administered in your county by local UGA Extension agents.
