A new school year and perhaps a new campus can wreak havoc with our routine. The It's Your Move Team (a.k.a. Lakehead Student Health and Wellness, Athletics and Campus Recreation) wants to help you make exercise a priority by challenging you to meet the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines recommendation of getting 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity for 6 weeks! The challenge begins on September 26 and wraps up on November 6.
You log your activities into our Strava group and we will provide updates, encouragement and resources to help you hit your goals so you can connect and cheer on your fellow Thunderwolves.
This program is open to current students, incoming students, staff, faculty, and alumni from either Campus. All participants will be entered into a prize draw with the winner announced after the challenge is complete.

Lastly, you can always upload a manual entry and select any sport types from the list of currently supported activity types. Once any activity is uploaded or synced to Strava, you can edit the activity to change the sport type to any of the following options:
