  • Free and open to all faculty and staff (part-time and full-time).
  • Eligible for Tier 2 points in the 2016 Wellness Incentive*.

Signing up is easy:

    • Create a Wellness Portal account if you don’t have one already (if you need assistance, check out this User Guide).
  • Once logged in, find the “Walking Challenge” banner in the dashboard, then click on the “sign up” button.

Don’t have a step tracker?

  • Healthy for Life is offering free mini manual pedometers upon request (an Excel spreadsheet will be provided for logging daily steps).
  • Discounted Fitbits are available at the University of Missouri Campus Store or any MU Pharmacy location and may be eligible for a rebate. Please visit the Million Step Pedometer Program website for more information.
