Dominion Enterprises Team Walking Competition
Here at the Dominion Enterprises headquarters, members of the Resite Online team are participating in the Home Office Team Walking Competition. The team that walks the most steps between May 17th and June 18th will win a half day of vacation. We divided into teams of 6 and were given free pedometers to keep track of each step we take. All of our steps count. Even our steps at home, on the weekends, and around the office.
The competition ends just in time to kick off the 2010 CHKD Run/Walk for the Kids on June 19th in downtown Norfolk. All the proceeds from the RunWalk go to CHKD (Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters). CHKD relies on support from the community to provide the best health care to our region’s children. Whether a child needs hospitalization, ongoing care for a chronic illness, outpatient surgery or primary care, CHKD Health System provides the staff, facilities and technologies that address the unique demands of childhood.
Why Should We Walk?
Because it is healthy, fun and will get us in shape for the race and even for summer! If that’s not enough—did you know that adding only 30 minutes a day of light exercise in intermittent periods will boost weight loss and promote positive health changes? Breaking up your 30 minutes throughout the day still provides the same positive effects as doing the 30 minutes all at once! Also, exercising regularly helps boost brain power, wards off illnesses, melts away stress and anxiety, pumps your heart, allows you to eat more and makes your muscles more efficient!
According to Wikipedia, “A total of 10,000 steps per day, equivalent to 5 miles (8.0 km), is recommended by some to be the benchmark for an active lifestyle, although this point is debated among experts.”
Wish us luck as we walk our way to half a day and an active lifestyle!

Hello, Neat post. There is often a question with your site in web explorer, may check this… IE still is that the marketplace chief and a big element of other folks will leave out your magnificent writing due to this problem.
I have observed that over the course of building a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every single real estate contract, a payment is paid. Finally, FSBO sellers will not “save” the percentage. Rather, they try to win the commission through doing an agent’s work. In doing this, they invest their money as well as time to complete, as best they will, the jobs of an adviser. Those duties include disclosing the home through marketing, representing the home to willing buyers, creating a sense of buyer desperation in order to trigger an offer, booking home inspections, dealing with qualification investigations with the financial institution, supervising repairs, and aiding the closing of the deal.
