Join the active team! UMFÍ's Week of Movement, 25th – 31st May

The fun, the sweet harbinger of spring, is fast approaching. The UMFÍ Sports Week begins on 25th May and runs until 31st May. The movement's ambassadors for UMFÍ's Active Week have started preparing all sorts of events and games across the country, so a huge burst of activity can be expected this week. 

Messengers of the movement

Last year, the country's companies took part for the first time in UMFÍ's Active Week which was a very enjoyable innovation. An employee wellness champion is a member of staff who encourages others to be active, creates opportunities for people to choose to be active, and comes up with ideas for enjoyable physical activity for others. Last year, corporate fitness champions delighted their colleagues by breaking up the working day and exercising with others. For large companies, the movement can have a significant and positive impact on well-being and staff morale. Last year, 20,000 people took part in UMFÍ's Active Week. Participants are featured in news stories on the www.umfi.is website, on Facebook and Instagram. A fun photo challenge is also being launched under the hashtag #mínhreyfing, featuring the names of participating companies.

Get others moving

UMFÍ does everything to help the movement's messengers and has, among other things, created a light-hearted and fun game so that everyone can take part: the Messenger Fitness Challenge. Exercises in the game include squats by the photocopier, press-ups by the coffee machine, and many more. UMFÍ provides the idea, but the messengers and staff carry out the exercise. Bingo!

Hafnarfjörður encourages individuals, businesses, schools and institutions to join in and lift their spirits. Let's do this together and get others involved!
