HR Wellness invites you to register for Wellness Wins Bingo, a three-week challenge from Feb. 23 to March 13 that is designed to help participants build healthy, sustainable habits to improve their physical wellness.

Wellness looks different for everyone, which is why Wellness Wins Bingo will take a whole-body approach to improving your health and will focus on activities centered on movement, nutrition, balance, mindfulness and social connection. 

This challenge is your opportunity to choose simple physical wellness activities to blend into and balance out your routine. We encourage you to explore new areas of wellness while using your existing daily routines as a starting point to build sustainable new habits. Let’s support one another as we embark on this wellness journey one step at a time.

Program Details 

HR Wellness has created two bingo cards for this challenge, each with 25 wellness-related activities listed. One card is for on-campus/hybrid employees, and the other is for remote/Extension employees. You’ll receive a card based on your work designation. 

Participants can earn bingo by completing five activities listed on their bingo card horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The bingo cards list activities you can complete at home or at work, so you’ll have the flexibility to fit wellness activities into your unique daily routine.  

Those looking to increase their daily activity may earn bingo only by completing the activities in the “Movement” category on their card. However, we encourage participants to engage with all categories on the card to maximize their wellness experience. 

While we encourage you to continue your current healthy habits during this challenge, please consider using our resources page, where you’ll find an assortment of videos and articles that will help you complete challenge activities. 

All participants who complete the challenge will automatically be entered into a prize drawing. Ten employees will be randomly selected to choose an HR Wellness prize. 

Registered participants will receive helpful information and reminders as they progress through the challenge.

Reframing Your New Year’s Resolutions: Progress Over Perfection

The start of a new year can feel like pressure to change everything at once, including your fitness goals. Consider using this challenge to reframe your fitness resolutions as small, sustainable shifts that support your well-being.

Here are a few tips to get started:

• Concentrate on habits, not outcomes: Focus on what you can do daily or weekly (e.g., a 10-minute walk, one mindful break) rather than a big end goal.
• Start small and stack wins: Choose one or two realistic changes. Consistency matters more than intensity.
• Be flexible: Life happens. Adjust your goals without guilt when needed, and treat resets as part of the process.
• Celebrate progress: Acknowledge small milestones that reinforce motivation and resilience.

Remember that wellness is a journey, not a checklist. Wellness Wins Bingo is your chance to explore wellness through small, fun choices.
