How Active U Autumn Works:

  • Register for Active U Autumn September 6 – October 3, 2022 on the MHealthy Portal. To help determine your weekly exercise goal, you’ll answer a few questions about your current physical activity habits.
  • Decide whether to participate as an individual, create a team or join an existing team.
    Planning to be a Team Captain? Reach out to your teammates so you’re ready to go when tracking starts September 19! The deadline to create/join a team is October 3, 2022. 
  • Starting September 19, track your physical activity minutes in the Active U Autumn tracker. Use your computer, mobile device, or sync your wearable activity tracker.
  • Keep moving and logging your activity over eight weeks (through November 13) to achieve your personal weekly exercise minutes goal. 
  • Every Tuesday, look for an email full of health and exercise tips and motivation to help keep you moving!
