\n\"\"Sit less and move more this February with #MoveUBC<\/h3>\n

With classes, papers and midterms, UBC knows it\u2019s not easy to hit the gym every day. What can you do instead? Take long walks, try short sprints, bike instead of commuting \u2013 but most importantly, avoid sitting for long periods of time if you can.<\/p>\n

Research has shown that moving more and sitting less can improve your mental and physical health, which helps you feel good and reduces the risk of many preventable diseases like cancer, diabetes and mental illness.<\/p>\n

Find out why it\u2019s important to start tackling the \u2018sitting disease\u2019 now, explore how you you can start moving more and stay committed to it with #MoveUBC this month! Learn more.\u00a0move.ubc.ca<\/a><\/p>\n
