Healthy U challenges UST community

UST’s Healthy U Committee will sponsor a 10,000 Steps Team Challenge to be held Monday, Sept. 13, through Sunday, Oct. 24. Teams of up to six members will wear a step counter and measure the number of steps taken per day. The goal is to gradually progress to 10,000 steps per day, or about five miles.

This program is for all levels of fitness and the pedometer is the only equipment needed. You can form your own team or join another; contact a member of the Healthy U Committee if you would like help finding a team to join. Prizes will go to the first-, second- and third-place teams and to individuals with the highest number of steps.

The registration deadline for the 10,000 Steps Team Challenge is Friday, Sept. 10.
