Nutrition & Health Promotion

Stair Prompts are simple encouraging messages to help promote the use of stairs over elevators as an easy way to increase an individual's physical activity throughout the day.  Did you know that walking up the stairs burns almost 5 times more calories than riding an elevator?

 

 

Worksite Stair Prompts  (22 pages):  Sample stair prompts that can be printed out and then, laminated or placed in plastic frames - and posted near elevators to encourage employees to use stairs.

 

Calories Burned Walking a Flight of Stairs (1 page):  Factsheet to post or distribute to reinforce the benefits of taking the stairs.

 

Stair Prompt Survey (1 page):  In order to evaluate the effectiveness of stair prompt messages, consider distributing a 'survey' to employees in your facility.  The survey will help you to determine usefulness of messages as well as motivation for stair use and any other wellness information employees would be interested in receiving.
