\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The competition runs from 1-30 June and includes many organisations and companies across Sheffield all aiming to make our city the most active city in the UK by 2020.<\/p>\n

By joining this challenge you can help SHU and your team climb the rankings whilst enjoying the benefits to your wellbeing.<\/p>\n

It isn’t always easy to keep active, especially at work, but you might be surprised at how a small increase in your physical activity and being part of a team can have a big impact on how you feel.<\/p>\n

Taking the stairs or getting off the bus or tram a few stops early are great places to start. You’ll also notice a Move More Hopscotch appear outside the Heart of the Campus as part of the ‘Turn the City into a Playground’ theme. Take a look at the Move More Finder<\/a> to browse or search for activities in Sheffield and keep an eye on the staff wellbeing page<\/a> to keep up to date on events in and around SHU.<\/p>\n

Know of a Move More event happening in your area? Let us know by e-mailing ! Staff Wellbeing<\/a> or via Twitter @HallamStaff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How do I get involved?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are already registered as a competing organisation so you can register your account and sign up or join your team by visiting the Workplace Challenge<\/a> webpage or via the Move More app.<\/p>\n

Teams are limited to 10 people per team, but feel free to ask others to set-up rival teams if your directorate\/department is bigger than 10. If you can see your team name from previous years feel free to use it again.<\/p>\n

How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your ‘active minutes’ are added up and contribute to the total for your team and the organisation. You can download the Move More App to track all of your active minutes or use your own devices and apps like pedometers, Strava or a Fitbit. You will be able to choose how you’d like to measure your minutes once you’ve signed up.<\/p>\n

If you use a pedometer you will be able to manually input your steps to your Move More dashboard, which will convert these into active minutes.<\/p>\n
