Brought to you by UBC Vancouver Human Resources and Move UBC!
The Move UBC Movement Break Challenge is an engaging and inclusive way to break up stationary time for Faculty and Staff! Small changes can have a big impact when it comes to reducing sedentary (or stationary) behavior and increasing physical activity. This challenge invites you to integrate more movement into your day, any way you can, to increase your faculty/department/unit’s total movement breaks and impact! The best part? There are some great prizes and it’s free to participate! Let’s get our campus community moving more.
How it Works:
Open to all UBC-V Staff and Faculty to participate from February 1-28, 2025. You just need to count the number of people (including yourself) that are impacted by the movement breaks that you initiate and report it using the link below!
- Any movement breaks, solo or with other people = 1 entry
- Provide a movement break for your classroom of 50 students = 50 entries
- Request a live movement break with the Move U Crew = 5 bonus entries
Enter your entries daily, weekly or at the end of the month. Choose the option that works for you. This Fillable Movement Tracker is available to make tracking easier! All entries must be submitted by March 1, 2025 at 12:00 PM PST.
