Healthy for Life has formed a partnership with the S&T Bookstore that will make it easier to purchase Fitbit pedometers. Participating in the Million Step Pedometer Program can earn faculty, staff and their family great prizes–including a rebate for a Fitbit zip or flex device purchased from the bookstore. Through the S&T Bookstore, the Fitbit Zip is $45. The Flex is $80.

The Million Step Pedometer Program is a part of the 2015 Wellness Incentive that helps faculty and staff can get cash for getting healthy. Eligible faculty and staff can earn up to $450 through a two-tier program that begins Oct. 1, 2014, and ends Sept. 30, 2015. You can earn $100 of your incentive by walking one million steps as part of the Million Step Pedometer Program.

Created in 2008, the Million Step Pedometer Program is an easily measurable way to track daily physical activity. It is a great way to get faculty, staff and their families up and moving. Using Fitbit devices, steps are easily tracked.
