Most of us know what we should do to live a healthy lifestyle. But on a busy day, it can be challenging to carve out time for a walk or make space for a calming breath. Sometimes, the best solution is a return to the basics.
Help your employees start—or restart—healthy habits by hosting our Let’s Groove challenge.
Most healthy habits can be done in under 10 minutes, and this challenge will remind your employees that sometimes all you need to get back into a healthy groove is to get started!
The challenge places an emphasis on consistent movement every day, and prompts users to complete simple actionable content posts that help improve mental health, social wellbeing, and more.
This challenge has something for everyone.
We designed this challenge to appeal to all users—a leaderboard for your more competitive steppers, personal goals for participants who are ready to be consistent, engaging actionable content to keep everyone on their toes, and fun chat prompts to keep the conversation going.
It’s a great challenge to run, whether you’re just getting started on MoveSpring, or you’re on your 100th challenge and want to keep your group grooving. Ready to build some healthy habits? Incorporate the Let’s Groove challenge in your wellness programming by following this guide.

- Stick to It - Set and reach a personalized step goal between 5,000 and 20,000 steps at least 15 days of the challenge
- Actionable Content - Complete the Holistic Health - Actionable mini challenge prompts

💡 Leaderboard Tip - We recommend putting an activity cap on a Leaderboard mode. An activity cap can level the playing field, and also put the emphasis on consistency over time, as opposed to overachieving a couple of days to dominate the leaderboard. For this challenge, we recommend a cap of 20,000 steps/day.
