-- American Miles -- This program, designed to encourage associates to do more cardiovascular exercise, encourages Moen associates to "cross the country" by logging their exercise daily to gain "miles." Each time an associate crosses a state, they will receive a small prize. At the end of 12 weeks, the top two associates who have traveled the farthest will win. -- Ultimate Fitness Challenge -- To encourage healthy competition among associates, this challenge will give individuals five different exercises to complete within a week. These exercises will incorporate each element of fitness: aerobic training, resistance training and flexibility. Designated points will be given to participants depending on how they place in each exercise. At the end of the week, the male and female with the most points will be crowned "The Ultimate Fitness Champion." -- The "Fat Bowl" Incentive Program -- Kicking off in January and running through March, this program (in its ninth year) places Moen associates in teams of four. Similar to the popular TV show, "The Biggest Loser," each Moen team earns points for exercising, eating healthy foods and drinking water. Every team is weighed-in on a weekly basis, and the top two teams with the most points and the most weight lost go to the Moen "Fat Bowl." The winning team is crowned "The Biggest Loser" and wins special prizes. New for 2007 will be a weekly "Exercise Face Off," where teams will compete in a designated exercise to win bonus points. -- Maintain, Don't Gain -- Targeting associates who are satisfied with their current weight, this Moen program, which started in 2005, encourages associates to use the Wellness Center three times per week (earning points for each visit). Each participant is weighed in the first week of the month, and if they maintain their weight they also receive incentive points. After a designated time period, if the participant has maintained their weight, they receive Moen merchandise, such as fleece jackets, sweatshirts, and more.EDITOR'S NOTE: We would be happy to arrange an interview with Gina Palmieri, Manager of Moen's Wellness Center, who could provide further information on the success of the wellness programs.
