Every January, Governor Rick Perry and Texas Round-Up challenge adults to engage in at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week (300 minutes/week for children under 18) for six weeks.
As a proud sponsor of the 7th annual Texas Round-Up 5K/10K/Family Mile Race, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) accepts the Governor’s Challenge and we encourage our valued members to do the same.
All of us can benefit from physical activity - no matter how out-of-shape we are or how long we’ve been inactive - and the benefits of exercise are huge. You can increase your chances of living longer and control your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and weight.*
Ready, Set, Get Moving!
- Encourage employees to log their physical activity in GetFitTexas! at www.texasroundup.org. For instructions, download one of the promotional flyers listed under “Helpful Resources” on the right.
- Have a contest or drawing to recognize employees who complete the Governor’s Challenge by logging 150 minutes of physical activity per week, for six weeks.
