Take Ten "Energize Your Day": Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Take Ten "Energize Your Work Day" Program?

Take Ten is a new incentive program that encourages Duke faculty and staff to get energized for ten minutes twice a day. Participants will choose from 3 Take Ten programs; Take Ten Stretch, Take Ten Walk, or Take Ten Strength and complete the ten minute program a maximum of two times per day (Monday through Friday). 

How does it work?

Participants will keep track of their Take Ten sessions using the provided log sheets as they strive to reach pre-determined levels established by LIVE FOR LIFE. Completed levels from the log sheets will be reported on-line on the Take Ten level submission webpage.

  • Take Ten Program Levels
    Level One: 10 sessions, $10 LIVE FOR LIFE dollars
    Level Two: 30 sessions, $30 LIVE FOR LIFE dollars
    Level Three: 50 sessions, $50 LIVE FOR LIFE dollars
