Beginning February 1, Fairfield faculty and staff will make every minute – and movement – count in the Go Move Challenge, a competition between 24 Jesuit Universities across the country. The common goal: to maintain a healthy lifestyle while staying dedicated to the Jesuit values of mind, body, and spirit.

Participants can register and log their workouts at GoMoveChallenge.org. Registration is now open. All types of intentional exercises are encouraged from walking your dog, to playing basketball with friends, to riding your bike. With the weather being unpredictable, there are also plenty of inside activities, such as jumping jacks, sit-ups, or push-ups.

The first 100 people to log 100 minutes will win a Go Move Challenge t-shirt. The competitor with the most logged minutes will win a grand prize. Additional prizes will be given to weekly winners and departments.

Started in 2013 by Santa Clara University, the Go Move Challenge aims to maintain healthy lifestyles and incentivize faculty and staff from Jesuit universities to exercise. Culminating on February 29, the university with the highest total number of minutes will be named winner of the challenge.
