Step It Up!® is a wellness competition designed to get people moving. The program
focuses on increasing physical activity by tracking steps over a period of time to reach
a common enterprise-wide goal. Step It Up! can be presented as an individual offering
or employers can turn up the competition level by offering a team component.
Optimize engagement, motivation and program ease with the option to integrate a
Fitbit device – a wireless activity tracker – proven to heighten the “fun” and “friendly
competition” elements of team challenges to promote healthy behavior change.
Program benefits
Easy. Fun. social. REwaRding.
Coworkers, family, and friends all influence our awareness of healthy behaviors, fuel our readiness and support our efforts to change. Harnessing the power of social connections, technology, and immediate feedback, Step It Up! was designed to motivate individuals to get moving or to increase their movement and to realize the benefits of physical activity. Step It Up! is further enhanced with features such as goal setting, ongoing communications, competitions, and rewards to create an engaging experience for an individual or teams.
To maximize engagement in population health improvement programs, goals must be realistic and clear, requirements to participate must be simple, and there must be personal meaning to incent individuals to participate. Step It Up! is designed to do all that plus adds the element of fun to ensure ongoing, active program engagement.

“Great tool, easy to use, didn’t require being on a team, easy to see how I was doing and it showed me areas that need improvement that I was not aware of previously. Love the program!”
“I liked the fact that I didn’t have to write down the number of steps I took and reset the pedometer every day. I also liked having the person behind me as a ‘friend’ so we could rib each other on who was making their numbers!”

“Made me aware of how little or many steps I was taking in my daily activities — I should be out shopping more! If I didn’t make my goal of 10k steps, I would attempt
to reach my goal (if I wasn’t too exhausted) by moving/jumping around while watching the news at night-whatever it took to reach my goal.”
