Let's Move for a Better World活动初衷

Although physical activity and exercise are different concepts, meaning with the former any form of movement and with the latter a more structured form of movement carried out for specific purposes, both represent fundamental elements of Wellness.
Without them, it is not possible to achieve psychophysical well-being. The man has been designed to move around, and cannot afford the risks of sedentary activity. Since 2002, the WHO has been promoting a campaign with the significant slogan - Move for Health since 2002.
Nutritionists, too, in their guidelines, do not fail to give great emphasis to the impact of an active lifestyle on the general health of individuals. Moderate but constant physical activity can therefore be considered a real' drug', which if well-dosed has only advantages and no adverse side-effects.
This is why, as a demonstration of this evidence, the American College of Sports Medicine has launched a worldwide initiative called Exercise is Medicine, of which Technogym is a Global Partner.

Let's Move for a Better World was so successful that Technogym decided to replicate it in three special editions. The first in Milan at Expo 2015, where Technogym was present as "Official Wellness Partner".
Expo was held under the slogan Nourishing the planet, energy for life. The main objective of the event was to provide concrete responses to important issues such as sustainable development and food security.
At Expo Technogym promoted the Let's Move & Donate Food campaign, in support of the United Nations Food Programme.
Visitors were encouraged to donate their own movement, measured in MOVE: every 1000 MOVEs corresponded to a meal to be donated to children suffering from malnutrition.
The second special edition of Let's Move & donate food featured Davos' snow-covered slopes in the background. On the occasion of the World Economic Forum participants were invited to download the Technogym app to keep track of their daily movement. The collected MOVEs were then donated to give meals to children in countries affected by malnutrition.
In the same year, during the Rio Olympics, Technogym promoted the Let's move for Rio project.
The campaign involved athletes and Olympic champions, the so-called "Wellness Enthusiasts" and gym visitors from around the world, to promote sport and physical activity as a social opportunity.
Through Technogym's digital platform, Mywellness cloud, athletes and wellness enthusiasts were able to measure their physical exercise during the Olympics. The collected MOVEs were then converted into Technogym equipment, which was then donated to 22 public gyms in the most disadvantaged communities of Rio.

Together, we will move the world
