Today marks the start of the 4th Annual Northern Physical Activity Week.

The intent of the program is to have participants incorporate physical activity into their daily lives, and to decrease the time they spend watching TV, playing video games or using a computer.

Communities, organizations and individuals that are registered have the option of competing against each other and issuing challenges.

Just over 1,500 northerners took part in the inaugural event three years ago. Last year, there were over 3,300 participants.

Organizers hope to see 5,000 northerners involved this year.
