Hello,
As part of our ongoing effort to provide easy (and free!) tips to help you de-stress during these exceptional times, we invite you to join the AIRA: We Like to Move It team in the American Public Health Association’s (APHA’s) Keep It Moving Challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic has kept many of us indoors and working from home, which makes it harder to stay physically active. But staying physically distant doesn’t mean you can’t be physically active! This is a fun way to promote healthy behaviors and physical activity within our IIS community, and maybe even win a small prize!
How to get started
- Go to https://aphakeepitmoving.walkertracker.com/?i=B4C2DEA0-g-74791. (By using this link, you’ll automatically join the AIRA: We Like to Move It team.)
- Fill out the sign-up form and register.
- Download the Walker Tracker app on your smartphone (available in the App Store or Google Play).
- Connect your device and complete your profile. No device? No problem. Here’s how to log your activity.
- Set your time zone, provide a personal statement (optional), and set a steps goal.
- Connect the Walker Tracker app to your preferred step tracking device (e.g., Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, etc.). Walker Tracker also syncs with the Apple Health and Google Fit apps.

Evidence shows that consistent physical activity helps prevent chronic disease, improve quality of life, maintain mental health, and promote healthy aging. Those are hard benefits to turn down! Need more incentive? AIRA will be awarding small prizes to the top three participants each month!
We hope this challenge will encourage you to get active every day. The challenge runs through April 11, 2021—the last day of National Public Health Week. Contact Alison Chi, Team Leader, if you have questions.
Thank you,
Brittany Gyer | Assistant Program Manager
