The goal is to accumulate 5 or more leaves per week. Leaves come in red, orange, and gold colors; each color represents a different level of exercise exertion. Daily health tips and recipes are included in the program. A raffle will be held at the end of the program to celebrate individual and team accomplishments and goals.
