Get up and Walk! Fitness is only a walk away! The AJH Pedometer Program is the first step in a community wide walking program launched by Anna Jaques Hospital. Our goal is to get the community up off it's collective couch and outdoor walking.

The AJH Pedometer program was implemented in second grades in the Newbury, Salisbury, Rowley and Amesbury Elementary schools. Each child received a pedometer, daily tracking logs and a walking log book. They paired with teams from AJH and challenged each other to discover who can walk more steps each week. A wall map designed specifically for this program was also given to each classroom, so the class can collectively track their steps and see how long it takes them to walk to historical landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the White House.

If you would like to receive a starter kit of this program for your class, scout troop, organization or club, please call the AJH public relations and marketing department at 978-463-1175.
