\"Cigna<\/p>\n

The Mouse for Less was invited to a recent Blogger & Media Event during Walt Disney’s World’s Marathon Weekend<\/a>, sponsored by Cigna Health. \u00a0The event took place in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and both Jocelyn and Rikki were able to attend. Here are there thoughts on the event. <\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve said it before, Cigna is a company that is all about keeping people well, fit, and healthy. \u00a0But they don’t stop there, they want your healthy lifestyle to fit seamlessly into your life which means making it so fun, you forget you’re learning ways to become healthier so it’s not a task, but part of your life.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

On this occasion, about\u00a0<\/span>40\u00a0of us were divided into 5 teams \u00a0– Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Pluto – to complete Cigna’s Great Race! \u00a0The race sent us all over the park figuring out clues, solving puzzles, completing challenges, and ultimately, working out! \u00a0The tasks fell into the categories – Routes, Road Blocks, Intersections, Detours, and Fast Forward! \u00a0Once we were in our groups, we were assigned a member from the Cigna Team to keep us honest and take pictures or videos on the specifically designated device. \u00a0We were each given a specific color bandana to designate our team. \u00a0Last, we were given the clue book, $10 (in case we need to purchase an item), and a bag filled with many plastic cups.<\/span><\/p>\n

An Intersection was a challenge where two teams had to work together to complete it. \u00a0The catch was that you could not use the same team for more than one intersection, nor do the same Intersection twice.\u00a0 This was Rikki’s favorite part. At one of Team Mickey Mouse’s intersections, they played Red Rover!

Routes were clues where there had to be a picture taken (the whole group had to be present so no splitting up to divide & conquer) or an item had to be obtained, as well as the Route # clearly marked. \u00a0For example: “Find the word that pairs with those below. \u00a0Then find one to be in your picture show. \u00a0By the way – you should cut back on this you know.” \u00a0The words were: Peter, cellar, water, tine, and water. \u00a0What’s the answer? \u00a0Salt! \u00a0So we had to take a team picture with some salt! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Road Block is a task that only one team member could complete. \u00a0One of the Road Blocks was to place a cracker (think small rice cake) on your forehead, and get it in your mouth using only your facial muscles.\u00a0 Jocelyn was brave enough to give this one a try and guess what?\u00a0 She was successful! \u00a0The Fast Forward task challenged us to take pictures with three different characters doing three different exercise moves. \u00a0We were running out of time and grabbed some Green Army men to quickly do some squats and\u00a0high knees
\nwith us! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another Route task was to unscramble some words that were in different languages but all meant the same thing and to take a picture with that item. \u00a0Let’s see how well you do here: AKUBRA, BUDENOVKA, VUELTIAO, CAPUCHON, and TAQIYA. \u00a0All of these words mean…. drumroll please…. hat! \u00a0What does a hat have to do with your health,\u00a0<\/span>after all\u00a0this game is to promote health! \u00a0The hat isn’t the point, the work our brain did on this one is! \u00a0Cigna is great at reminding us that we need to exercise not only our bodies, but our minds as well!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Routes<\/p>\n

After a very hectic hour and a half, we had to get back to our meeting spot. If we were late, points would be deducted from our score. \u00a0We got to spend some time socializing with each other while scores were tallied and awards were given.

Of course, the fun didn’t stop there. \u00a0Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck took a break from their ballgame to visit and say hello which was so much fun! <\/span><\/p>\n
