2026 UC Moves Challenge Coming Soon!
Coming next spring, get outside, get moving, and build healthy habits that will pay off all year long! Join your UC Santa Cruz faculty and staff community in moving more and building healthy habits with daily challenges, fun tips, and healthy recipes. Get inspired to try new outdoor physical activities like hiking, cycling, tennis, and golf. Whether you take a fitness class, park further away, go on a walk, or spend the afternoon gardening, every movement counts!
Benefits of movement:
- Help reduce stress and improve mood.
- Feel more energized and focused.
- Build muscle and strengthen bones.
- Improve blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.
- Reduce risk of developing chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
