Exercise is Medicine Off-Campus Day

Friday of EIM Week (Friday, October 21st) we are partnering with a number of great off-campus partners to offer no-cost or low-cost trial classes for Penn State students, faculty, and staff.  More info can be found on our EIM Off Campus Day page.

Kick-off Walk

As in previous years, we will kick off EIM Week 2022 with the Tenth Annual Walk.  Starting at 9:30 am on Monday, October 17th at the Lion Shrine, join HHD administrators, faculty, staff, and students on a walk around campus to spread awareness about EIM and get everyone moving towards their 10,000 steps!

Campus Partners

One of the keys to the lasting success of Exercise is Medicine On Campus at Penn State is the ongoing support from our great campus partners.  This year we are looking to have more participation and more partners than ever before.  Throughout EIM Week we will be joined by:

• Shake Smart – Free Samples on HUB Lawn Monday & Thursday
• Health Promotion & Wellness
• University Health Services
• Penn State Healthworks
• Campus Dining- Water & Fruit
• KINES Club
• Triathlon Club
• Anytime Fitness
• State College Strength Club
• and more!

Daily Competitions

We will compete against Michigan State, Iowa State, and Purdue throughout the week in a Big 10 Push-Up and Lap challenge. All week we will be working to accumulate the most number of pushups. At the same time, Iowa State, Michigan State, and Purdue all do the same during their own Exercise is Medicine events.  On Monday, we will compete against Michigan State, Iowa State, and Purdue in a Lap Challenge around the HUB Lawn.  In 2018 we completed over 18,000 push-ups and walked over 3,000 laps – we hope to top that this year!
