The two teams in Olds, the Wild Rose Medical Centre Flab-u-less and the Peaks to Prairies Peppy Steppers challenged each other to see which team would be the most active.

Each team member recorded daily activities which were automatically converted into steps walked.

The purpose of the challenge was to enable each team member to realize the positive impact physical activity has on their health.
