Exercise Program: CU Move

It’s 2009! Capture the momentum of this new year and take time to renew your mind, body, and spirit. Plus, as a reward for your effort, you can earn great shirts, water bottles, music gift cards, and more. Beyond these great incentives and the countless long-term health benefits, physical activity can help improve concentration, increase your energy levels, and give you a tremendous outlet for stress.

CU Move (formerly the 100 m.i.l.e. club) is an exercise motivation and tracking program that offers the University community an opportunity to learn about, design, and record personal fitness activities using an online, interactive tool. Participants set individual exercise goals and record progress on their personalized exercise journal. CU Move is free and open to all Columbia students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Progress is measured according to the number of minutes a user spends exercising. The goal is to spend at least 100 minutes per week doing physical activity.
