If you're looking for motivation to boost your physical activity in 2024, look no further than Live Healthy Iowa's 10-Week Wellness Challenge.

The first 2,000 University of Iowa employees to register will have their registration fee covered by liveWELL, a unit of University Human Resources.

The 10-week challenge runs January 8–March 15 and encourages well-being by tracking teams' physical activity. Teams compete not only against others at the university, but against teams across the state.

Whether you take a walk on your lunch break, go to the gym after work, or participate in a yoga class over the weekend, all intentional physical activity counts toward the friendly competition.

To register, gather a team of two to 10 people, identify a team captain and have them register the team using the group ID and subsidy code below.

Group ID: LHIUIOWA
Subsidy Code: 10W24-UIOWA

Once your team is registered, each team member will receive an email inviting them to log in to the dashboard and track their physical activity minutes.

"It was a great way to keep me accountable with activity during the winter months," said a past UI participant.

Last year, 411 UI employees participated and logged more than 1 million minutes of physical activity.
