(KUTV) You've probably seen the painted parking stalls but you still opt to park a little closer to the grocery store. However, if you decide to walk a little further to get your milk and eggs, you could find a prize on your windshield.

Intermountain Healthcare has teamed up with local grocery stores to help encourage customers to walk a little further for better health. "It's the small things that matter," said Locke Ettinger, from Intermountain Healthcare. "We've elected as an organization to paint these stalls and encourage people to walk further to get a little more exercise every day."

Studies show that walking can help reduce the risk for health conditions such as heart disease and stroke. But there is an added incentive to parking in the stalls. Intermountain Healthcare has someone from their LiVe Well team on the lookout for cars parked in the stalls. If you happen to get caught, you will get a $15 gift card to Amazon.

Associated Retail Operations is one of the organizations that have partnered with Intermountain Healthcare for this campaign. "We do want to set an example and have that helpful reminder for our guests that by walking a little bit further, they can live happier lives," said Sarah Pettit from Associated Retail Operations. 

Currently, you can find the stalls at select Fresh Market, Harmons, and Dan's grocery stores. Intermountain Healthcare plans to add more stalls at more stores in the future.
