Summer Break Challenge

This summer, the Department of Wellness is challenging our campus to take short breaks throughout the day to get moving! Even a few minutes of walking every hour can add up to big health benefits, such as reducing your risk of musculoskeletal disorders, boosting mood, and even improving feelings of energy. See just how many steps these breaks can add to your day in the Summer Break Challenge!

*All steps taken throughout the day can be logged. You do not need to limit your step entry to break times. 

Dates: July 5 - 31
