UT System Physical Activity Challenges

Thank you to everyone who participated in the most recent physical fitness challenge! Stay tuned for more information on the next upcoming event.

Spring and Fall Fitness Challenges

Each fall and spring, UT System hosts fitness challenges designed to increase your fitness goals as part of a team and boost your physical and mental wellbeing. These annual events challenge employee-formed teams to log their physical activities as part of a friendly competition against other UT System institutions. Activities and requirements may slightly vary from challenge to challenge.

Spring Forward Challenge Information

UT System is currently hosting the Spring Forward Challenge! From [date] to [date], you and your team of 3-5 coworkers will try to collectively reach 1 million steps by taking part in any physical activity (e.g. walking, running, gardening, or anything that gets you up and moving). Participants can choose to manually enter physical activity via the UT Living Well platform or, if you already have a fitness device, you can download the Limeade app through the App store or Google Play to sync your device to track your steps throughout the challenge.

After your team reaches its fitness goal, all team members will receive bonus points on the UT Living Well platform, which can be redeemed for various rewards such as gift cards, merchandise or other offers.

If you have any questions about the competition, logging in or tracking your steps, visit the UT System Physical Activity Challenge webpage or contact UTSA Wellness.
