CUIMC Steps: Digital Step Challenge!

Step up with your colleagues with the CUIMC Steps: Digital Step Challenge!  For three weeks, faculty and staff are competing in teams representing their affiliated school or CUIMC Central Administration role to see which team “stepped it up” with the highest average step count and which “went the distance” with the most total steps by the challenge end. Let’s get stepping, CUIMC!

Monday, November 1 – Friday, November 19

Participants will aim for 7,000 steps daily to help their respective team attain the highest average step count and/or highest total steps by the challenge end.  

 

At the end of the challenge, prizes will be awarded to winners in the following categories:

  • Winning Teams- the team(s) with the highest average step count and highest total step count.
  • Challenge MVP- the participant with the highest step count at the end of the challenge.
  • Team High Steppers- the participant with the highest total step count on each team (excluding challenge MVP).
  • Step Contributor Raffle- any participant who contributed steps during the challenge will be entered in a raffle to win prizes (3 winners total).

When you sign up for MoveSpring, you connect a wearable device, smartphone, or selected manual entry to track your steps. Here is how to make sure your steps and all other activities count:

  • Remember to sync your data from your device to the app to update your total steps each day. Learn more about syncing here as it varies by the type of device you have.
  • Count other physical activity (e.g.: yoga or biking) towards your step goal by converting the number of active minutes to steps and manually adding them on the MoveSpring app.  
  • Convert wheelchair distance to steps by using this conversion chart and manually adding them on the MoveSpring app.
