Take It Outdoors, NOVA Trailblazers–Let’s Explore the DMV!

Our friends at the Monday Campaigns always give such great advice. Spring is here, take advantage of the nice weather and schedule some fun outdoor activities. Take your workout outside on Monday and everyday! As your Push Pal, the Employee Wellness and Wellbeing Office is happy to help.

Spring 2023 MOVE It Outdoors (Saturday Walks/ Hikes in the DMV). 
Join your colleagues, family and friends in a series of almost free adventures. (You will need to provide your own transportation.) On Saturday mornings, let’s explore a selection of the beautiful walking trails throughout the DMV. Registration is now Open!

Why join the group walks?

These walks/hikes/runs have all been planned (for weeks now) by skilled and experienced wellness professionals. Join, watch, and learn so that you can later manage your own individual walks or schedule sessions with your family and friends.

Okay, then…let’s get registered now to join your NOVA Employee Wellness Office as we continue to Move IT Outdoors. Next Walks are:

• Rock Creek Park. May 6, 8 a.m. 3+ mile Walk
• Great Falls National Park (Virginia Side). May 13, 8 a.m. 3+ mile Hike
• Great Falls National Park (Maryland Side). May 20, 8 a.m. 3+ mile Hike

Let’s Get Active, NOVA!

Remember to harness the power of checking in to enhance the success of your wellness plan.

Use the Monday Campaigns: Weekly Check-Ins
Mindful awareness, accountability, goal setting and tracking progress are evidence-based techniques that enhance the success of a wellness plan. Each week, the Monday Campaigns participants are invited to use the weekly check- Ins (Weekly Check In: April 24th) to help you:

• Remain motivated;
• Reflect on your progress;  
• Consider how you will work with your Push Pal to get the most effective results from your wellness experiences; and
• Recommit to your weekly goals.
• Turn intentions into actions.
