Quality of Life
It enables individuals to maintain an active lifestyle, engage in recreational activities, and enjoy leisure pursuits without limitations.
The Eta Nu Nu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., hosted the Omega Fitness Walking Challenge to promote physical activity among brothers, family, and friends. This event aimed to help participants meet the American Heart Association's recommendations for adult physical activity, encouraging at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week.
Participants joined the challenge by downloading the Nike Run Club App and enrolling in the HNN Omega Fitness Walking Challenge. The app automatically recorded their activity data and updated a leaderboard.
The challenge ran from April 1 to April 30, 2024, and allowed participants to count any steps from various activities. The top overall participant at the end of the challenge won a $50 gift card, based on the data collected through the Nike Run Club App. Registration was free and open to all, making it an accessible and engaging way to encourage more physical activity within the community.
