The Real Life Challenge
The Real Life Challenge starting Monday, Sept. 24, and is a six-week lifestyle journey, dedicated to improving your health, fitness and overall well-being—one habit at a time. This challenge is offered by Wellness and Integrative Health at University of Utah Health and is open to ALL University of Utah and University of Utah Health employees.
An email was sent Monday, Sept. 10, to all U and U of U Health employees with instructions to join the Real Life Challenge. Look for the email in your inbox with login instructions and download links for the app in both the Apple Store and Google Play.
Each day for the duration of the six-week Real Life Challenge, you’ll get points for completing each of the five daily habits. You can earn up to five points a day and an opportunity to win a variety of prizes.
You’ll keep score using our app, but the power of the Real Life Challenge is not in the points. Rather, it’s in the results that come from the five habits working together to improve your days, your relationships, and your overall well-being—an effect that is best understood through experience.
The five Daily Habits for points are based on:
- Movement
- Hydration
- Sleep
- Nutrition
- Gratitude
