How long is the campaign?
WalkingWorks is a 12 week campaign beginning on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 and ending on Tuesday, December 12, 2006.
What do I need to do in order to participate?
All participants must be signed up by the September 20, 2006 kickoff date. If you have specific concerns, email the Health and Welfare Wellness Committee at wellnesscommittee@pa.gov
What does participation involve?
Walking! All participants who attended the information sessions were provided with a pedometer and walking log at the kickoff to be used to track walking progress over the 12 week program. Each week, participants are encouraged to log the total number of steps they achieved within that week. There are incentives for participants who continually log their steps each week.
How do I log my steps?
You will total your steps each week from Wednesday through and including Tuesday (new week starts on Wednesday). Participants will log on to the Capital BlueCross secure website and create a user name and password at https://w1.capbluecross.com/WalkingWorks/servlet/WalkingWorks . Participants will be asked a series of questions in order to obtain access to their personal health activity log.

Are there incentive prizes?
YES! Participants who consistently log their total number of steps will be eligible for prizes.
- After week 4, all participants who have logged their total number of steps (up to and including week 4) by Thursday, will have their participant number placed in a drawing. One participant number will be selected and that person will be notified.
- The same procedure will happen at weeks 8 and 12 (up to and including week 12).
