Welcome to Do The LOCAL Motion Tampa Bay
SUBMIT YOUR POINTS EARNED FOR REWARDS We have really cool rewards ready for you to pick up. You've earned them - so be sure and submit your report! You don’t really know your community until you’ve walked it. There’s nothing better for the environment than putting the car keys in a drawer, throwing on a pair of sneakers and hitting the pavement. Studies have show that compact, walkable communities allow people to make fewer trips in their cars, travel less to meet their everyday needs, and thus reduce their contribution to global warming. The question really is - is your neighborhood walkable?Up until recently, many people did not think of Tampa as a walkable city, but with recent renovation efforts, improved urban planning and the advent of new museums and waterfront projects, things are really changing. Healthy Together and its partners invite you to enjoy learning more about your active downtown community while realizing the wellness benefits of outdoor activity. “Do The LOCAL Motion” is a free fitness program that combines walking and running with culture and community.

THE FITNESS CHALLENGE: 50,00 LOGGED MILES.
Take a million steps Tampa, and go twice around the world.
Healthy Together has set the goal of having 50,000 logged walking miles by Tampa’s citizens by May 1, 2009. That’s equivalent to twice around the world, and then some. What’s the big deal about that? If we develop the habit of walking more, and driving less, we can become fitter and reduce the pollutants that cause global warming. Change happens in small steps, but 50,000 miles represents one million small steps towards a healthier you, a healthier workplace, and a healthier city.
Healthy Together is a non-profit (501c3) coalition of public, private and non-profit organizations collaborating
make Tampa Bay a better place to live by promoting healthy living and removing the barriers to wellness.
