in Motion Program is a statewide initiative of the
Governor’s Council that was launched in 2004 to increase the
daily level of physical activity for Maine citizens of all
ages. Maine in Motion provides a program that
facilitates an Maine in Motion encourages participants to follow one of its themed activities or Tours. The Tours will be highlighted at the website and featured at certain times of the year, but participants can pick any of the current tours for benchmarking activities against real-life scenarios. In addition, Nordic walking has been added as a featured activity and opportunities to participate in walking clinics in different areas of the State is part of the program. Maine in
Motion targets schools, worksites, families and
individuals. Through the use of motivators such as
pedometers, a log, and other supporting materials,
participants keep track of their daily activity levels by
recording time spent being active or through the use of a
pedometer to track number of steps walked. At the end of
each session, participants who met their goal of increasing their daily
physical activity level will be recognized.
