Steps Plus: Hofstra Fitness and Health Challenge 2025
In recognition of Exercise is Medicine Month in Spring 2025 and National Public Health Week in April 2025 (and the collaborative advocacy efforts exercise and public health professionals conduct in promoting active lifestyles for better health) the Exercise is Medicine on Hofstra Campus pre-professional club and the Future Healthcare Leaders (undergraduate Exercise Physiology and graduate Health Administration program student clubs) will be sponsoring the Steps Plus: Hofstra Fitness and Health Challenge. This is a team competition from Thursday, April 1 to Friday, April 11, 2025. Teams of 2-5 people including current undergraduate or graduate students, faculty and staff are invited to participate. The goal of the challenge is to accumulate as many steps as possible each day throughout the two weeks (a team average for each day will be recorded). In addition to steps acquired through walking, jogging, and other activities throughout the day, steps will be ‘awarded’ for time spent participating in mental health promotion activities and for completing health challenges posted daily on the Steps Plus Canvas page. Gift prizes of $300, $200, and $100 will be awarded to the teams finishing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! The sign-up site will be available soon (ALL team members must sign up individually). This event is FREE but we would request each person participating donate a non-perishable food item for donation to the Hofstra University Pride Pantry located in the Hofstra Dome. Please direct any questions to Dr. Katie Sell at [email protected].
