The Wellness Team would like to extend an invitation for all MPCC employees to take advantage of N-Lighten Nebraska. WOW members qualify for up to ˝ the cost of registration! Please read on…
What is N-Lighten Nebraska?
N-Lighten Nebraska is a team wellness program conducted by the Nebraska Sports Council. This three-month endeavor (February 1-May 1) encourages Nebraskans to develop sustainable healthy physical activity and eating habits. The unique team format encourages teammates to work together toward the common goal of living healthier lives.
Why N-Lighten Nebraska?
We can prevent or control many diseases by making modest and attainable improvements in our level of activity and the food we eat. It is scientifically proven that moderate physical activity and eating fruits and vegetables can substantially reduce the risk of developing diseases such as heart disease, colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity.
Recognized Achievements:
You have the option of entering the weight loss category, the accumulated
activity category, or both.
Weight Loss –
Each member of the team submits an "honor" weight online or to the team
captain. (Please note: weights are NOT made public!) Captains total the team
weight, complete the team entry form and submit it. "Honor" weigh-ins will be
repeated in March (midway point) and May (final). Winning teams are those that
lose the highest percentage of weight over the three-month program.
Accumulated Activity –
Teams track miles based on activity performed (see the
Activity Tracker). Winning teams are those that average the most points per
person over the three-month program. Captains may report total team points or
team members may report their individual points online. (Accumulated
activity means the amount of physical activity you get each day. You will use
the
activity tracker to calculate your accumulated activity, which could include
activities such as gardening, cleaning the house, running, walking, etc.)

categories will receive medals. Other prizes include:
