The goal of the national movement is to keep students active together, even when students at different colleges and universities are miles apart. There are hundreds of classes to choose from so you can find the one that is best suited for you. The Recreation Movement platform even gives you the ability to log and track your workouts. Recreation Movements overall goal is to log five million minutes of movement, and we as Bants can contribute to that goal.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Trin, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/trinity.recreation\/\">recreation department<\/a><\/strong> is having students compete against each other and whoever is on top of the leaderboard will be able to win prizes each week. (Nothing like a little friendly competition, right?)<\/p>\n<p>There is an overall leaderboard for the Recreation Movement, which can be found on their website, and which shows the rankings of each school based on the amount of minutes of movement. Let&#8217;s get Trin up on the leaderboard! Here\u2019s how we can do this\u2014head to over <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/2020recreationmovement.com\/\">Recreation Movement&#8217;s website<\/a> <\/strong>to sign up for free and from there you can participate in any workout of your choice. Pretty easy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mia, what made you want to be a part of this project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was asked to be the photographer for the project. As an athlete, I know the importance of being active, and how it is beneficial in many other aspects of life (especially mental health and well-being). I chose to be apart of this project because I believe in its mission of promoting fitness and wellness amongst people in this very uncertain period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abel, what\u2019s the purpose behind the photography of this project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4077\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4077\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4077 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/fromthenest\/files\/2020\/10\/IMAGE6-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/fromthenest\/files\/2020\/10\/IMAGE6-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/fromthenest\/files\/2020\/10\/IMAGE6-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/fromthenest\/files\/2020\/10\/IMAGE6-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/fromthenest\/files\/2020\/10\/IMAGE6-375x563.jpg 375w, https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/fromthenest\/files\/2020\/10\/IMAGE6-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/fromthenest\/files\/2020\/10\/IMAGE6-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/fromthenest\/files\/2020\/10\/IMAGE6.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4077\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Julia Burdulis &#8217;21; PC: Mia Conte &#8217;22<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Well, we wanted to highlight and depict what it means to be active. Mia and I figured out the best way to promote the program was by shooting our friends and teammates as they were being active around campus. We were able to spread the word around, and build a beautiful campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mia, what inspired the shots that you captured, and what inspired the spaces you used for the photoshoots?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our goal was to get pictures of our friends being active, whether they were playing basketball, running or even boxing\u2014we just truly wanted to capture the essence of fitness and what that could look like on campus or around Hartford. We didn\u2019t limit our creative scope so wherever we felt like a good picture could be captured\u2014we trusted our gut and just went for it and we got some really cool shots. Abel brought a speaker so there were a lot of positive vibrations around which resulted in us being able to capture those dynamic movements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abel, what was the creative inspiration behind this project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Mia said, we wanted to capture our friends being active and we were very intentional about which spaces we chose to use and the depth embodied in each shot.
