Move UBC
Move UBC is a university-wide initiative each February aiming to increase physical activity and reduce the time students, faculty, staff, and the UBC community spend being inactive. Small changes can add up to big impacts—moving more and breaking up bouts of sedentary behaviour can improve both mental and physical health, impact academic and professional success, and contribute to wellbeing and sustainability in meaningful ways.
But for many, fitting physical activity into our day, whether working and learning from home or campus, can be a challenge. It's crucial that we follow all Provincial Health Orders around safe recreation when we look for ways to move more, but there are still many ways we can be physically active. We hope that Move UBC will be an opportunity for you to explore ways to Move More, Move Well, Move Anywhere and Move for the Planet.
