Imagine Action... Your Way!
What It Is and How It Works

Imagine Action has paired up with a new program from the Tompkins County Health Department called Physical Activity Counts (PAC). Although the 2 programs are very similar, there is one significant difference: the PAC program is "customizable." That means everyone can customize PAC to fit into their life.

Physical Activity (PA) is everywhere, and everyone finds it in different places. PA can be walking, or biking, or stretching, or working in the yard. It can be done at work, at home, or while shopping. Physical activity can be with your kids, your dog, your partner, your co-workers, or by yourself. You might be surprised to find PA in daily chores, routine office work, or the way you wind down.

The most important thing to know is, no matter where you find PA, or what it looks like, all physical activity counts! That's where PAC and Imagine Action... Your Way! come in. Challenge yourself, or a buddy, or form teams at your worksite. Use the PAC personal scoresheet to tally points for the physical activity you do.

Set goals by the day, week or month. Track your personal improvement, better your buddy, or pit team total against team total. Then put up a prize: lunch out, pizza in, silly stuff or gag gifts.

Try different activities, and fit in different routines. Minimize your frustration and maximize your flexibility. As long as you're moving, you can't fail. To learn more about how to use the PAC scoresheet, click here.
