The UNMC Center for Healthy Living invites the campus to join the Thrive Steps & Stairs Challenge, which begins Monday, April 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the fourth Thrive wellness challenge in the program, which is designed to empower and encourage people to incorporate more activity into their work or school day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge is free and open to members of the UNMC and Nebraska Medicine community, which includes students, employees and members of the Center for Healthy Living. Participants do not need to be members to join the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration for the Thrive Steps & Stairs challenge<\/a> is on the Center for Healthy Living website. After signing up, participants can download the challenge plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the six weeks, participants will complete a progressive mix of walking intensities and exercise times paired with stair steps on workdays. At the end of the challenge, participants can submit their completed challenge sheets to the Center for Healthy Living front desk by June 11 to be eligible for the prize drawing.<\/p>\n b x A sv ZPlPeSryhik<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
