What is Shape Up Tioga County?

Shape Up Tioga County is a 10 week effort to get Tioga County residents more active! It uses the American Cancer Society's Active for Life wellness program which encourages individuals to set their own goals and to join a team for motivations and support. Teams are not necessary; individuals can join and participate as well as a team. Your Shape Up goal is simply the number of minutes you hope to exercise during the 10 week period. Each participant receives a point for every minute of activity, whether it is moderate (like walking or yard work) or intense (like running or tennis) activity. A Shape Up team provides you with that much needed boost of encouragement as you strive to meet the goals that you have set.

A team can include:

• You and your spouse
• You and your friend or friends
• A church group
• An exercise club (biking, hiking club)
• A support group such as TOPS or Weight Watchers
• Worksite or Department
• A scholastic or collegiate group

Join now, set your goals, and help make Tioga County one of the healthiest in Pennsylvania.
