10/24/2012

Everyone is "born to move" and stay active, but sometimes life gets in the way. Miami University Employee Wellness wants to kick-start a 9 week healthy holiday challenge beginning Wednesday, Oct. 31.

Challenge participants will strive for at least 30 minutes of physical activity 3 days per week (or 90 minutes total per week). Create a one-person team or join one with friends. Teams of 1 to 100 are welcome. This challenge is open to all Miami faculty and staff and any spouse/partner on the Miami health plan.

How do I get started?
Register now in your Healthy Miami account https://healthymiami.purewellness.com or call Employee Wellness at 513-529-3492. Paper logs are available upon request and can be submitted weekly.

How do I complete the challenge?

  • Log your physical activity weekly for 9 weeks
  • Enjoy friendly competition with co-workers
  • Feel energized through the holiday season
