Register for Move for Mental Health: Every Move Matters!

Registration is open for Move for Mental Health: Every Move Matters, a free, ten-week virtual physical activity program held each spring and fall through the Healthy Franklin County. In partnership with the Franklin County Library System, participants will track their progress using the library's Beanstack platform, making it easy to log activity, monitor achievements, and stay engaged throughout the challenge. Participants will use the Beanstack app to log physical activity, convert movement into miles, earn digital badges, and celebrate accomplishments. The program runs from September 13th through November 8, 2026.

Perfect for all skill levels. Beginner friendly. Our goal is movement for everyone!

Participants can engage in virtually any form of movement, including walking, running, cycling, swimming, dancing, gardening, fitness classes, strength training, yoga, sports, and more. Activities are converted into miles.

Program Benefits

Throughout the challenge, participants will learn:

• How physical activity supports mental wellness, reduces stress, and improves overall health

• The benefits of setting achievable weekly movement goals

• How to incorporate movement into everyday routines

• How different forms of movement can be converted into miles so that every activity counts

Participants will also receive weekly wellness emails featuring motivation, healthy lifestyle tips, mental wellness resources, and strategies for staying active throughout the challenge.

How It Works

Because this is a virtual program, you can be active wherever and however you choose, whether that's at a park, fitness center, trail, neighborhood, workplace, school, or in your own home. All participants must register in order to be eligible for prizes. Join whenever you’re ready. Registration remains open. All participants will be expected to log their miles (using the movement conversion chart).  

1. Sign up for your free Beanstack account. (Beanstack can also be downloaded from the app store).

If you prefer a paper version to track your movements or would like someone to submit your miles for you, please contact Sarah Applegate at sapplegate@fclspa.org.

3. Share with friends, family and co-workers.
