Step It Up: Walk. Count. Win.

Step It Up

Lace up your shoes, and Step It Up this month! We’ve launched our second Life. Inspired. companywide wellness challenge, and this time, we’re encouraging you to be active.

When?
April 1 – 28, 2017

Who?

  • All Publix associates can participate.
  • Participation is voluntary.

How?
Start by tracking your steps. Most smartphones and smart watches have fitness apps and activity trackers that track your steps. You also can use a pedometer or fitness tracker. Learn more at www.publix.org > Life. Inspired. Program.

Enter your weekly number of steps in PASSport. You should have received a PASSport message with a Step It Up link.

Why?
Your participation can lead to prizes for both you and your store or support area!

Individual prizes: To encourage participation each week of the challenge, associates who have tracked their steps in PASSport are entered in a random drawing to win prizes. Each week, 250 associates will win these Life. Inspired. items.

  • Week 1 — towel
  • Week 2 — water bottle
  • Week 3 — pair of athletic socks
  • Week 4 — sport bag

Companywide grand prizes: The top three stores and/or support areas with the highest average number of steps per associate during the four-week challenge will win money for a special celebration.

  • Gold — $1,000
  • Silver — $500
  • Bronze — $250

Good luck. And Step It Up!


Before starting an exercise program

We hope you’re excited to take part in the Step It Up challenge this month, but we want you to be safe, too! Consult your doctor before participating in a wellness activity, including starting or changing an exercise program. Your doctor can help you determine what level of physical activity is right for you.
