MU Extension to host statewide health initiative

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — To motivate increased physical activity, the MU Extension is hosting a statewide initiative to motivate movement during the 100 days of summer.
‘100 Miles, 100 Days’ includes Andrew and Buchanan counties and is a no-cost movement program, which will begin on Monday, June 16.
Participants just have to start moving in whatever way they enjoy, whether it be: biking, running, dancing or strength-training.
Participants are encouraged to keep a log of their progress and set goals to keep them moving. Weekly reminders and motivators will be sent out to give participants fresh ideas.
The program is encouraged for groups, coworkers, friends and families to hold each other accountable or to even compete for the most miles.
Those interested can register online on the MU Extension website and searching for “100 Miles, 100 Days” at your local office.
