The Physical Activity and Nutrition Branch of the NC Division of Public Health is proud to announce a new resource – Move More North Carolina: A Guide to Stairwell Initiatives.
Stairwell initiatives promote using the stairs as a way to incorporate physical activity into daily life. Taking the stairs is encouraged through a variety of physical improvements including paint, lighting and artwork, as well as point-of-decision prompts such as promotional signs. Stairwell initiatives are being adopted by organizations across the state, including the N.C. Legislative Building, and are a great way of incorporating physical activity into the workday of employees who work in multi-floor buildings.
The Move More Stairwell Guide is a useful planning tool that provides step-by-step guidelines for anyone interested in implementing a stairwell initiative. The guide also provides links to downloadable promotional signs and examples of stairwell initiatives in place across North Carolina.
A PDF version of Move More North Carolina: A Guide to Stairwell Initiatives is available for download.
This guide is one of many resources that supports Eat Smart, Move More...NC, a statewide movement that encourages healthy eating and physical activity wherever people live, learn, earn, play, and pray.
