IRIS Media announces that it has received a 2007 Telly Award for its DVD program, Walk Your Way to Fitness: Walk, Workout, Be Active for People with Intellectual Disabilities. The program, recognized in the non-broadcast video and film category, received the coveted Silver Telly, the highest honor bestowed by the Telly Awards. Judging is done by top advertising and production professionals who recognize distinction in creative work and high standards of merit.
Walk Your Way to Fitness is an instructional video program that features a fitness class where youth and adults with intellectual disabilities start a walking program and learn about healthy lifestyle activities. Students learn how to use a pedometer, how to overcome barriers to exercise, and how to encourage each other to get fit and stay fit. At the end of each session, the class presents a follow-along floor workout – dance, walk, or stretch & flex.
Funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, the program was developed by IRIS Media’s team of experts in fitness and developmental disabilities. Dr. Martin Sheehan, from IRIS Media in Eugene, Oregon, was the principal investigator and content developer for the project. Program consultants include Dr. James Rimmer, Director of the National Center on Physical Activity and Disability at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Dr. Ken Pitetti, a professor and disability researcher at Wichita State University.
