Have you signed up for America on the Move?

On Wednesday, May 28, The University of Texas System will launch a new healthy eating and active living program for individual improvement as well as healthy competition between UT System institutions.

Sign up on the America On the Move Web site, where you’ll find tips and tools to help you add more activity to your life, cut calories and track your progress. The premise is simple:

Walk an extra 2,000 steps a day

Eat 100 fewer calories a day

While counting steps is encouraged, many other activities that don’t involve a pedometer can be counted toward your goal by logging minutes instead of steps.

Free pedometer to those who register
As an added incentive, the Office of Human Resources will give a free pedometer to all those who register with America on the Move. (Human Resources will send an e-mail after registration regarding how to get the free pedometer.)

How to sign up
To join America On the Move:

Go to www.americaonthemove.org

Select “Individual,” “Full Access” registration

Use registration code RUT106260

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete your registration.

Be sure to include UTHSC San Antonio in the space for “Address #2” so your participation can be counted toward the America On the Move-UT System Ultimate Challenge Traveling Trophy. This step is also necessary in order to receive the free pedometer.
