Pyeongtaek City Recruits Participants for '8-Week Healthy Habit Building' Online Program

Pyeongtaek City (Mayor Choi Won-yong) announced that it will operate an online-based physical activity program called '8-Week Healthy Habit Building in Daily Life' to encourage citizens' voluntary physical activity and help form healthy living habits.

The program will run for 8 weeks from August 31 to October 23 and will be operated in a non-face-to-face format to allow citizens who have difficulty visiting the health center to participate easily.

Participants must be Pyeongtaek residents aged 20 to 65 who can comfortably use smartphones, with 200 people total. To apply, citizens should add the KakaoTalk channel 'Songtan Health Center Health Information Talk!' and submit an application through Naver Form (https://naver.me/GSQFbB3K) or by scanning the QR code attached to the notice.

The application period runs from 9 a.m. on the 18th to 1 p.m. on the 28th. In particular, a '7,000 Steps Walking' first-phase mission will be held on August 29 and 30, and only applicants who complete mission verification will be confirmed as final participants to proceed with the program.

Final participants will receive exercise videos twice a week through the Songtan and Pyeongtaek Health Centers' 'Body and Mind Strengthening' YouTube channel. Additionally, through 1:1 chat on the 'Songtan Health Center Health Information Talk!' channel, participants can receive professional feedback from exercise prescriptionists twice a week along with exercise verification.

An official from Pyeongtaek City's Songtan Health Center stated, "We have prepared a non-face-to-face program to allow citizens to practice physical activity autonomously without restrictions on time and place," and added, "We hope for active participation from citizens who wish to develop healthy habits in their daily lives."
