MONTANA – At the close of its 18th year, Shape Up Montana had 222 teams with over 2,300 members.
A program of the Big Sky State Games, Shape Up Montana promotes healthful eating and a physically active lifestyle in a team format. Teams competed in two categories: healthy weight, as a result of healthy diet and physical activity, and accumulated activity, which is converted into miles.
The three-month program, running Feb.1 to May. 1, featured teams of four to 10 people working together to accumulate the most miles (mileage was converted from daily activities, like yard work or housework and aerobic activity, such as swimming or walking, etc.).
There were 222 activity teams and 703 healthy weight individual participants committed to the program. Overall, the activity groups accumulated 419,482 total miles (travelling to the moon 1.8 times and going around the world 16.9 times).
