Ideas to get you moving

Get active and be competitive:

• Compete with friends: apps like the Apple watch's Activity App, Stridekick and Strava connects different fitness trackers so you can spark friendly competition among friends in school and elsewhere.
• Invest in a fitness tracker: having a tracker (or even a simple pedometer) helps you to meet your fitness goals. Many trackers have social features and allow you to challenge and compete with friends. 

Get active and be social

• Make every meeting a walking meeting: if you're catching up with a friend or former colleague, take the call and go!
• Join an intramural sport: it's a great way to meet classmates and build camaraderie, all the while staying fit. 
• Try out fitness classes: there are a variety of fun fitness classes such as Crossfit, SoulCycle, yoga, kickboxing, martial arts, etc. with friends. Check out Groupon, LivingSocial, and other websites for special deals to try something new. 
• Start a fitness group: having a group of classmates will motivate you and strengthen your relationships. Involved in clubs? Invite the members to participate in an activity together.
• Take advantage of the campus gym: invite a classmate or two to join you and set up a schedule to go regularly.

Get active by volunteering:

• Volunteer and keep active: organizations such as Back On My Feet allow you to get involved in the community while staying fit. 
• Sign up for a fun run: there are a large variety of themed runs such as The Color Run, Hot Chocolate Run, and Neon Run to name a few. Invite some of your classmates to train together and go on a run at an event near you!
