Hello, Hawk Family!

We wanted to invite you to a Humber vs Seneca Activity Challenge. It’s been a while since we have been able to compete against another college, so let’s show them how Hawk Strong we really are.

Activity Challenge Dates:

Date: Monday, January 18 to Sunday, January 31, 2021

1) Download the Pacer App on your phone (Icon is blue with a running shoe) and/or use the link below.

Link to Challenge: https://www.mypacer.com/organizations/zf81910/invite
Alternatively, you can use the Challenge code: zf81910

2) Select TEAM HUMBER

Manual Entry for other activities:

This challenge is a step challenge on the app but you can convert any activity into steps. 

Forgot your phone or wearable or did another activity? No problem, here’s how to enter it manually:

  1. Click on the Shoe item at the bottom of your screen
  2. Scroll down to “Log My Health Data” and click on “Activity” and select the activity.  
  3. Use our conversion charts to calculate your steps. (We will post on our Instagram, but you can also Google)
    Example: one minute of yoga = 45 steps. If you did 10 minutes, this would equal 450 steps.
  4. Log the duration, steps and date and click save.
  5. Converting your activity into steps will allow them to count towards the challenge. If you do not convert into steps they won’t be counted.
  6. You can also link any of your wearables or phone health apps to this so it will automatically count your steps.

Check out our Instagram for more information starting Monday, January 18, 2021.
