I went from not caring about my body and health to being f it.-Michael Barrett , Virginia Beach City Public Schools

Virgin Pulse has helped me become more active and tracking my sleep, steps, and habits. To me, being able to see my progress and challenge others to do better has helped me become healthier.-Rob Ramos , City of Virginia Beach

I believe Virgin Pulse has really allowed me to “give in” to sleeping better. Trying to maintain an excess of seven hours per night has led to being aware of my

nighttime bedtime and falling asleep faster which has led to different nighttime rituals.

Program Spotlight: Health Stations, BMI & Blood Pressure

There are 20 BEWell Health Stations placed around Virginia Beach available for you to check your health measurements, such as your weight and blood pressure. Stop by one of the BEWell Health Stations and earn points when taking your measurements! See a listing of Health Stations and addresses on the back cover.

• WEIGH YOURSELF: Check your weight & measure your Body Mass Index (BMI)1. Your BMI will help identify if you are underweight, overweight, or obese. It is not a direct measure of body fat but can be a useful reference tool.

• TAKE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE: A blood pressure reading of 120/80 mm Hg is listed in the “normal” blood pressure category. However, most of us do not understand what the blood pressure readings equate to if it falls outside the “normal” reading. Review the chart below provided by the American Heart Association2 to assess your blood pressure reading after visiting a BEWell Health Station.
