Ted Todd Insurance Agents Take Ten Thousand Step Challenge

March 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Fort Myers, FL - February 28, 2011- Ted Todd, owner of Ted Todd Insurance Agency has challenged his agents and staff to a company-wide fitness walking program that encourages each person to commit to the goal of taking 10,000 steps per day for better health. Each participant will wear a pedometer to measure total steps taken each day.
The agency's five week challenge will begin on Monday February 28th and will end on Saturday, April 2nd with a 5k run/walk followed by a company picnic.

Todd appreciates how hard his employees work and feels that “the health and wellness of my employees is a priority and allows us to meet the ongoing demands of our industry and the needs of our clients.” The agency started a wellness program for employees in 2010 but this is the first time they have participated in the 10,000 Step Challenge.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that healthy adults should strive to take 10,000 steps each day, which is approximately five miles and can burn about 500 calories. According to the CDC average Americans get only 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day.
