The road to fitness and healthy lifestyles begins with one step.
The West Kelowna Parks, Recreation and Culture Department is challenging you to take a step. In fact, we want you to take 10,000 steps, every day! We will even provide you with your own pedometer to make it fun and easy. The West Kelowna Parks, Recreation and Culture is proud to include the West Kelowna Steps Out Program as part of the initiative to increase the activity level of West Kelowna residents 20% by 2010.

What is the Steps Out Program?

Steps Out is a walking/pedometer program that promotes physical activity and healthy living in various communities in British Columbia. This program provides the tools and information to get you walking while becoming aware of the benefits of physical activity in daily life. The steps out.com website provides a variety of features to help you achieve the goal of improved health and wellness including:

Body mass index calculator: Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
Equivalency calculator: The equivalency calculator converts the steps taken in other physical activities such as badminton or swimming into steps that you can log on your trek around Europe.
Group Wellness Program: The Group Wellness program measures the walking progress of one group against other groups based on a percentage of active members. This program allows business, corporations or community groups to challenge each other within the Steps Out program.

Join the team as we inspire, assess and empower you to take positive steps to better health and wellness. We will monitor your progress and give you helpful advice on healthy living and eating choices. Meet new people, get active and win prizes!
