Wildcats on the Move is a 10-week program that allows you to set your activity goals, then choose how to achieve them. Wildcats on the Move runs from Sept. 14 through Nov. 22, 2008 . The cost is just $5, and all UK employees, retirees, spouses, and sponsored dependents are welcome to participate*!
1. Choose your goal
It’s simple. You choose an activity goal of either:
- 150 minutes/week (30 minutes/day x 5 days/week)
- OR 300 minutes/week (60 minutes/day x 5 days/week)
2. Get started

3. Record your activities
From Sept. 14 through Nov. 22 , 2008, record your minutes of physical activity each day on the activity log. That’s it!
You can do one activity for the full 30 or 60 minutes, or combine different activities to reach your goal (as long as each activity is at least 10 minutes). For example, if your goal is 150 mins/week, you might combine three different 10-minute activities, or a 10-minute activity with a 20-minute activity.
At the end of the 10 weeks, send your completed activity log to us by Dec. 2, 2008. Everyone who finishes the program and meets his/her goal receives a T-shirt. Those who reach the 300-minute goal for all 10 weeks will be entered into a grand prize drawing.
If you're on UK's main campus, here are some walking loops you can use to meet your activity goal for the day:
The fine print: While participating in Wildcats on the Move, please record activity at least three days per week. All activity minutes may not be completed in one day. You do not have to be in Kentucky to be a part of Wildcats On the Move. So, you can participate even while on vacation! The grand prize drawing will be held at the conclusion of the
10-week program. To qualify for the prize drawing, you’ll need to meet the 300-minute goal each week for all 10 weeks, turn in your log by Dec. 2, and return an evaluation (which will be sent to you).
*Only University of Kentucky employees, retirees, spouses, and sponsored dependents are eligible for UK Health & Wellness services and programs.
