MWTM Physical Activity
Mayors use Move with the Mayor to encourage active, healthy living and strengthen individual and community resilience. Mayors are using Move with the Mayor messaging; program, policy, and infrastructure recommendations; and other tools to empower and protect community members from health threats and improve cardiovascular health, mental health, and health equity.
MOVE WITH THE MAYOR™ (MWTM)
A national initiative that works with mayors across the country to challenge their communities to be more physically active.

What Mayors Are Saying:
-
“That’s why we’ve joined together to launch Move with the Mayor in West Chicago. It’s a month-long series of walks to save lives by getting people on the road to a healthier heart. Each Saturday in September, we will designate a different neighborhood route that will get us moving for 30 minutes.”—Mayor Ruben Pineda, West Chicago, IL
-
“I joined Move With the Mayor because I want the citizens and constituents of my community to enjoy an abundant life and that means a healthy life. You see here in south Louisiana we have great food and we love our food. But we also have health challenges like heart disease and diabetes and obesity. I want to lead by example and encourage, motivate and cheer my community on towards a healthy lifestyle.”
—Mayor Sharon Weston Broome, Baton Rouge, LA
-
“It’s a great opportunity to get out and about with our neighbors here in this city, get moving: do our part around wellness, reducing our risk for cardiovascular disease, a great chance to talk with our neighbors about what’s going on in their lives, a great way to reduce stress, improve our mental and emotional well-being.”—Mayor Andrew Ginther, Columbus, OH
-
“Ohio outpaces most of the U.S. in cases of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack, physical inactivity and obesity. We can do something about that and become a role model for other cities and states across the country. I am glad to join mayors across the state to make a difference.”—Mayor Christina Muryn, Findlay, OH
