UW groups join fitness challenge

Teams of faculty and staff at UW-Madison are participating in Lighten Up Wisconsin, a four-month challenge that supports teams in making “small, realistic and permanent changes” in lifestyles to encourage healthier living.

“We’re going to try exercising together during lunch,” said Ann Hebl, a team leader in the Office of Admissions, one of numerous departments that will participate. “Our teams are hoping to become healthier by changing our eating habits and increasing how often we exercise.”
