FLINT, MI Genesee County will have a chance this fall to improve its rank from lowest in Michigan's health rankings.

The 2012 Fall 4 Fitness campaign that begins in October is a community-wide business-to-business physical activity challenge to encourage healthy, active lifestyles among organizations as well as Genesee County residents.

The objective: 30 minutes of physical activity every day for every participant for one month for a total challenge goal of 900 minutes.

Registration is open now for business and organizations at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/F4FChallenge, after which information on how individual participants can track daily minutes will be available.

Individual residents may sign up, too, at http://www.commit-2-fit.org.

The effort is presented by Commit to Fit!, a collaboration between the Greater Flint Health Coalition and HealthPlus of Michigan.

On Sept. 24, a kickoff event will take place in downtown Flint featuring business-to-business fitness competitions such as the Commit to Get Fit games between Citizen Bank and HealthPlus employees in May.

Incentives for progress include cash prize raffles, gym memberships, free weekly fitness classes and trophies and medals for organizations and participants.
