The University of Hong Kong (HKU), through its Centre for Sports & Exercise (CSE), hosted the HKU Fitness Fun Day 2025 on May 7, 2025, to launch the Exercise is Medicine (EIM) Month with a vibrant event themed, "Sit Less Move More." This engaging day united staff, students, and the HKU community to promote the transformative power of physical activity in fostering healthier, active lifestyles. Highlights included physical challenges, informative booths offering insights into exercise benefits, and opportunities to connect with wellness experts. Attendees gained practical tips for a balanced lifestyle and discovered HKU resources to support their health goals, setting the tone for a month-long celebration of movement.

A heartfelt thank you to all the staff, students, and volunteers whose energy and dedication made HKU Fitness Fun Day 2025 on May 7, 2025, a resounding success.

Let’s keep the momentum going—sit less, move more, and make every day an opportunity to prioritize health!

The "Sit Less Move More" theme underscored the urgent need to combat sedentary behavior, a growing concern in modern lifestyles where prolonged sitting is linked to health risks like obesity, cardiovascular issues, and mental fatigue. The event encouraged participants to integrate small, sustainable bursts of movement into their daily routines—whether through standing breaks, short walks, or active commuting.
