What does healthy aging mean to you?

September is Healthy Aging Month, a time to focus national attention on the positive aspects of growing older. As the calendar years pass by, it's important that we each take steps to keep our bodies happy and healthy, which can take many forms in your routine. It can mean taking steps to ensure you eat a more balanced diet, joining clubs to keep up with hobbies and activities, or it can mean engaging in more exercise.

Getting active around Lincoln Square is easy with the fitness facilities throughout the district and the active wear stores to help you find the right equipment. And, if you're looking for some inspiration, you need not look further than our wonderful crews on the street, especially our Clean Team. Ever notice our guys in blue uniforms? Our Clean Team members walk the district daily; taking many steps and working hard to ensure our neighborhood stays clean.

But just how many steps on average does one of our workers take in a full work day? In the spirit of Healthy Aging Month, a number of our workers recorded their steps with different devices and we want you to take a guess at the average number of steps they take. The person who provides the closest answer to the real average number of steps will win a gift card to  New York Running Company by JackRabbit, located on the second floor of The Shops at Columbus Circle, where you can get started on purchasing active wear and gear to help you stay healthy and active. Click here to take your guess and lock in your chance to win!

It is inspiring to know that our workers are active every day, walking the district. Say hi as you pass them on the street during your daily walk!
