Walking Works™

Blue Cross Blue Shield has a walking program available to participating employers called Walking Works™.  This work site wellness program stresses the importance of walking at least 10,000 steps a day to maintain a basic level of fitness.  The program is available free of charge to employers that participate with BCBS.  It is not available on an individual basis.  The program has two parts and includes the following:

• A presentation by a BCBS representative who gives a benefits overview of your health insurance plan.
• A presentation explaining the Walking Works™ program, the value of physical activity, goal setting, and how to incorporate this activity in your daily life.

Each attendee at the meeting will receive an activity log and pedometer.  If you would like to take advantage of this service for your agency/department, please contact Onalee Sellheim with BCBS at 701-282-1180 for further details.
