How can you participate?

  • Use hashtags #MultcoMoveYourway and #activepeoplehealthymultnomah to share your progress. This summer and fall, REACH is challenging Multnomah County residents to move more by joining a community activity and getting out on their own. Let us know how you're doing!

  • Set a reasonable goal to increase your activity. The CDC recommends adults get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity each week. We suggest prioritizing 30 minutes of your preferred type of movement five days a week to reach this goal. This can include walking, yoga, stretching, dancing, gardening or other activities and being active by yourself or with a group. Do what sounds fun for you!

  • Ask family members, friends, and colleagues to join you. Group activities help build community and can make exercise more enjoyable. Having others around you with a shared goal is a great way to stay motivated.

  • Download the WalkerTracker App to track your activity minutes. Use program URL: multcoreach
