National Get Fit Don't Sit Dayâ„¢ was originally created by the American Diabetes Association as an opportunity to increase awareness of the dangers of prolonged sitting and the importance of getting up and moving throughout the day - especially while at work.
At Kent State, we seek to empower staff and faculty by providing opportunities and the resources you need to get moving. To celebrate Get Fit Don't Sit Day, Employee Wellness encourages movement all week long! Join us as we get up and move during the week of May 3. Our celebration will include virtual workouts, Get Fit Don't Sit BINGO, and an opportunity to win prizes via a contest on Facebook.
How you can prepare for our week-long celebration?
