Contribute to UIC's Largest Physical Activity Challenge during Healthy Campus Week 2024! This year, we're aiming to beat last year's total of 7,011 pushups, and we need your help to make it happen.

How to Participate:
- In-Person: Join us on the Quad from 10:00 AM to 12:45 PM and do as many pushups as you can.
- Virtual: Can’t make it in person? Record your pushups and share them on social media by tagging @UICCampusRec, @healthiercampus, and using #healthycampusweek #RecWell.

Let’s come together and show how strong the UIC community is—every pushup counts!
