The CDC recommends that we get 2 ½ hours of physical activity each week, but for many of us it’s a challenge to keep up an exercise routine. Move it Monday can be used by businesses, schools and communities to encourage people to start the week by taking the stairs, going to the gym or doing a Monday Mile – and to commit to staying fit throughout the week.

Here are some ways schools, businesses and communities can use Move it Monday to get people moving:
- Offer free classes at fitness center
- Create Monday Mile maps and markers
- Hold walking meetings
- Organize group exercises during lunchtime or breaks
