How Far Would You Go for Pie?

It’s the time of year to be grateful for good food. What better way, than use the UT Extension Excercise Challenge to save up for that extra slice of pie we know we love.

Here are some of your favorite pies, and how many walking steps an average person needs to account for the calories. A slice of pumpkin pie is about 300 calories, which is 7,500 steps. A slice of apple is 400 calories or 10,000 steps. And pecan pie is a whopping 500 calories which needs 10,000 extra steps, so make sure you get walking this holiday season.

You can sign up for walking or running a half marathon or full marathon in both November and December to account for some sweet treats, or make your own customized goal and plan for each month! We’ll send out a survey at the end, and if you met your goal, you could win a monthly pass from Williamson County Parks & Recreation to jump start your excercise routine in the new year.

When it’s too chilly to walk outside, make sure you check out some of the Indoor Recreation Facilities in Williamson County available through Williamson County Parks and Recreation, and make sure you take a look at some of the Williamson County Public Library digital collections, with music and audiobooks to keep you motivated and entertained while you excercise.

Sign up for the challenge here and keep an eye out for more motivation and resources to keep you moving this season!
