Earn a purple apple through INShape Indiana

The INShape Indiana walking program, “Ready, Set, Walk!”, offers yet another option for earning a purple apple as part of Healthy Purdue. The 12-week walking program began April 14; pedometers have already been distributed to participants.

If you’d like to use your participation to earn a purple apple through the community alternative option, here’s how.

• Get the community alternative form from your campus wellness program.
• Fill out the 12-week walking log to track your participation (log will be provided by INShape Indiana).
• Turn in your community alternative form, your walking log, and the e-mail you receive from INShape Indiana upon completing the program to your campus wellness program by 5 p.m. on July 31.

If you’re currently enrolled in an existing walking or activity course at Purdue, you would not be able to "double up" and get credit for a purple apple for both the Purdue program and the INShape walking program.

Each campus will be collaborating with INShape Indiana.  For more information about using "Ready, Set, Walk!" for a purple apple, contact your campus wellness program:
