The Rec Movement is Here

The University of Miami Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center has collaborated with NIRSA, Riddle & Bloom, TikTok and over 40 colleges and universities to launch the 2020 Recreation Movement. This virtual fitness program connects university students, faculty, staff, and alumni from across the country to offer opportunities for self-care and a sense of community during these unprecedented times.

The 2020 Recreation Movement is an online initiative encouraging participants to remain active during the COVID-19 quarantine through daily online fitness challenges and workout classes, as well as individual exercises including walking, running and hiking. University recreation center instructors from participating schools will be sharing a variety of live and recorded workout classes from April 6, 2020 through May 3, 2020. Classes include yoga, boxing, cardio, HIIT, conditioning and more.

To get started, create an account using your miami.edu, med.miami.edu or umiami.edu email address.  Users can view upcoming live events here. Users can also log their active minutes per workout through the site; minutes are then combined by school and displayed in a leaderboard showcasing each school’s performance. In addition to being a great resource for a variety of classes, this is a COMPETITION. Let’s show the rest of the country the true ‘Canes competitive spirit and sign up NOW!

The 2020 Recreation Movement helps the community of students, alumni, university staff and faculty remain positive and healthy. Staying active together, even when we’re apart.
