%20(1).jpg)
Welcome to Exercise is Medicine - Legacy in Motion Oct 2026
​Welcome to Exercise is Medicine (EIM) Month October 2026 at The University of Hong Kong — a landmark celebration marking the 10th Anniversary of EIM at HKU, centered around our inspiring theme: “Legacy in Motion.”
Legacy in Motion honours a decade of empowering our university and local communities through health, physical activity and preventive care. Over the past 10 years, EIM at HKU has grown from a campus initiative into a thriving movement—connecting scientific evidence with everyday wellness and turning motion into a lasting legacy of health.
To commemorate this decade-long journey, each week of October 2026 will revisit the core pillars and milestone themes from our past 10 years:​​
Week 1: Sit Less, Power Up Your Health
Break up long periods of sitting with simple habits like taking the stairs, standing during calls, and taking short walk breaks.
Week 2: Heart and Brain Health
Cardio and strength training protect your heart, sharpen focus, elevate mood, and boost memory.
​
Week 3: Active outdoor for all
Exercise outdoors to enjoy fresh air, connect with others, and stay fit at any skill level.
Week 4: Reaching your limit
Safely challenge your endurance, break through plateaus, and achieve new personal bests.
​
Join the Legacy
Exercise is Medicine is more than a programme; it is a movement that views physical activity as a vital part of health care. Join us this October as we honor 10 years of fitness, community, and scientific wellness. Let’s celebrate our shared history, move together, and keep our Legacy in Motion for years to come.
