What is Shape Up Texas Health?

Shape Up Texas Health is a fun, 12-week, team-based fitness, pedometer steps, and/or weight loss competition for employees. You are invited to form a team of co-workers and compete with other teams to collectively exercise the most hours, lose the most weight, and/or walk the most steps! Shape Up Texas Health is designed for all employees at all fitness levels. We'll provide you with the tools and resources to easily set goals and track your progress.

How It Works

1. Recruit Your Team

Team captains register online at www.shapeuptexashealth.org and use our online system to recruit a team (5-11 members including the team captain). Captains will lead their teams in the 12-week challenge to increase physical activity, lose weight, and eat healthier.

2. Get Ready To Compete

Sign up on-line and your pedometer and printed logbook will be delivered to you before the start of the company-wide competition.

3. Get Set To Move

Teams may choose to compete in one, two, or all three competition divisions. Results will be based on average % of weight loss per team member, average hours of total exercise per team member, and average total pedometer steps per person on the team. Each division will have its own separate team standings.

4. Go!

Employees will record their daily progress online or in the printed logbook. Team standings will be published online every two weeks. To protect your privacy, if you choose to participate in the weight loss division, no other participant will ever be able to see your individual weight.

5. The Payoff

In addition to the reward of meeting your goals and the fun of working together with co-workers to pursue a healthy lifestyle, all teams who compete in the program will be recognized online at the end of the competition. All employees who complete the 12-week competition will receive a duffle bag.
