Magnolia Moves starts today!

Our Magnolia Moves Activity Challenge is an individual or team‑based health and wellness program that encourages people of all ages to increase physical activity and adopt healthier eating habits.

There is no cost to join this 6-week activity program, and you set the pace and choose the activities that you participate in throughout the six weeks. Open to participants of all ages, the program invites you to connect with your community, explore creative ways to stay active, and rediscover the joy of everyday movement.

Just download the MoveSpring app and it will seamlessly sync with a wide range of wearable devices, including your iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple Health, Android, Google Health Connect, Fitbit, and more. With automatic tracking, your movements and activities are captured by default, giving you a clear, real-time view of your progress and achievements. An alternative to the app is a desktop version that is available.

Need some encouragement? There will be weekly drawings for prizes!

The program is free, but you must register in order to join. If you have questions, email [email protected]. Use organization code MSUEXT426 at signup!
