Get Moving Challenge
Will you take the challenge?
August 18 - September 14, 2024
Register nowThe Get Moving Challenge is a 4-week challenge to increase your physical activity. You will keep track of your steps, covert them from other forms of activity if necessary. The goal is to get you moving MORE.
It's open to everyone! UND staff, faculty, students, and their friends and family.
You can register as an individual or form a team (up to 6). The team can be made up of coworkers, family members, student workers, etc...it's up to you.
Steps get logged-in weekly or daily on the GET MOVING login page.
You can keep track of your steps by using a pedometer, activity tracker, or cell phone app. Use this conversion chart to change activities into steps. Here are some informational sheets on strength training and flexibility.
Features:
- Weekly Walking Moais. A Walking Moai (mow-eye) is more than motivation to get moving. It's an active timeout for healthy conversation. It's a boost for your mood. It's a meeting that's anything but boring. These Walking Moais provide a time out to talk, laugh, connect, and move!

- GROUPS: Your results will be compiled with others in your group. If you are a walker, you will be compared with other walkers...not someone running to train for a marathon. You can still join a team & team standings won't be affected by which group you are in. Members on a team may be in different groups. We recognize that all our participants have different physical levels of ability and want to make sure to all participants are included. Please refer to this conversion chart to convert alternative forms of movement into steps for the challenge.
- CHALLENGES: A little friendly competition never hurt. If you are a member of a team, you have the ability to challenge another team(s) at any time during the challenge. An email will be sent to notify them of the challenge and you can track your status along the way.
- PRIZES: At the halfway point, 5 lucky winners will receive a gift card! Once you complete the challenge, you are entered into the GRAND PRIZE drawing for a Garmin vivoactive 5 Smartwatch! All prizes are awarded by random drawings of those who have entered steps.
