Our Friends and Collaborators

Quitting the Sitting is very grateful for the support, assistance, and encouragement of these organizations:
Move It Monday is an international campaign which encourages people of all fitness levels to get moving each week starting on Mondays.
We offer fitness routines, tips, and inspiration to help individuals, worksites, schools, and communities incorporate exercise into their weekly routines. Become a Move It Monday Ambassador, sign-up for our weekly newsletter, or do the Monday Mile! Learn more at moveitmonday.org.
Launched in January 2011, Every Body Walk! is a campaign aimed at getting Americans up and moving. Along with our partner network, we are working to spread the message that walking 30 minutes a day, five days a week really can improve your overall health and prevent disease.
​
The website hub contains news and resources on walking and health information, exclusive videos, and a personal pledge form to start walking. The campaign also has a strong social networking presence, offers a free mobile app and engages in media partnerships with multiple entities in the non-profit and corporate realm.

The centerpiece of the project is a series of short video vignettes featuring average Americans and motivational stories about how walking has changed their lives and lifestyles. The videos are intended to be shared with family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and anybody else. The project includes a 30-minute documentary on the health benefits of walking, which is accessible online. Get more information at www.everybodywalk.org.
Our mission is to encourage healthy physical activity in people of all ages, and reverse the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle in order to improve the health and well-being of the country.

Walk with a Doc was created by Dr. David Sabgir, a board-certified cardiologist who practices with Mount Carmel Clinical Cardiovascular Specialists—at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s. Dr. Sabgir’s walking program is dedicated to you and your commitment to improving your health and well-being. We want to be sure you have all the information to enjoy our program with weekly updates, health, menu tips and more!
