Game On. Step It Up! Challenge Begins May 12
It’s go time, BMC! Break out your walking shoes for the first Step It Up! Activity Challenge. Step It Up! is a fun, four-week pedometer-based activity program focused on tracking daily steps to strive toward 50,000 steps per week. Whether you’re an avid exerciser or a couch potato, we invite all BMC medical plan participants to swim, bike, walk or run your way to a healthy summer, fire up your competitive spirit, and win prizes!
Walking isn’t the only “step” that counts. Every physical activity you do can count toward the Step It Up! Challenge.
The Step It Up! Challenge is just one of several activities you can complete to earn the maximum $600 family discount on your 2015 medical premium. Read more about all the ways to earn your discount here.
