Today is the last day of the Go Move Challenge. Thank you to all who have been participating. Make sure to get all of your minutes in before midnight! If you would like to still add in your move minutes, and still have not registered, you can still do so today by clicking here (further details listed below).
Challenge Details:
Calling all faculty and staff at Canisius College to join other Jesuit institutions in the 10th annual Go Move Challenge by recording your minutes of intentional physical activity that gets the heart pumping to determine which Jesuit institution is the most active. The challenge runs from February 1 – February 28, so make sure to get registered so you can track your minutes right away.
The Go Move Challenge officially kicked off on February 1st for all faculty and staff, but it’s not too late to get registered and catch up on tracking any minutes of exercise you’ve had so far. Sign up today for a chance to win a $50 gift card to the Canisius Bookstore. If faculty and staff meet the goal of at least 600 minutes for the month of February with at least 150 minutes per week of intentional, heart-pumping exercise, their name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win. According to the American Heart Association, it is recommended that you fit in at least 150 minutes of heart-pumping physical activity every week.
Other awards go to the university that tracks the most minutes, the university that averages the highest number of minutes per participant, and the university with the highest average number of minutes per region.
