Walk to Wellness is returning this spring as a university-wide walking challenge using the mobile app MoveSpring!  Join your colleagues for bi-weekly campus walks and continue the fun as you track your steps on other days of the challenge too.  Together, all Walk to Wellness participants will work towards a group goal of 12 million steps this semester! That means each participant will have an individual goal of at least 6,000 steps each day.  Your Walk to Wellness group is counting on you, let’s get moving!

Walk to Wellness is a collaboration between the Office of Work/Life, Human Resources, Dodge Fitness Center, and PlusOne. This program is limited to Columbia faculty and staff.

*Challenge perks: Garmin is offering 35% off fitness trackers for Columbia University employees.  Visit the group membership website and enter your Columbia University email address, then follow email instructions to set up your account.
