In order to promote increased physical activity and its importance in our overall health and wellness, the Get Active Simpson (GAS) Program was developed by the Get Healthy Simpson Coalition and the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension FCS agent.   The program uses the physical activity mile (PAM) as fifteen minutes of continued movement to represent a walking mile.   Teams are formed and captains are required to report to the Simpson County FCS agent weekly totals for the team and team members.  With a total of 58 participants and 6 teams, the four-week program netted 7,348 physical activity miles.  Those who participated reported increased energy, more strength and some weight loss or maintained weight.  The participants were diverse in both age (20’s-80) and race (15% African American participation). Homemaker Clubs were joined by and an aerobics class, a senior center, Business and Professional Women and Family Care Wellness Center as teams. The community has started to expect this challenge each spring in Simpson County.  The BRIGHT Coalition (Barren River Health Coalition) will be implementing a summer get moving program that will replicate the Get Active Simpson program in the 10 county area.
