How to Earn Points:
● Intentional Exercise Minutes: 20 Minutes of Daily Exercise = 1 Point
Earn 1 point for every 20 minutes of daily intentional exercise, up to a daily maximum of 6 points.
Exercise may be accumulated throughout the day, however, it must be completed in increments of at least 10 minutes to qualify.
Exercise includes activities such as walking, running, hiking, cycling, swimming, playing sports, yoga, Pilates, lifting weights, rock climbing, martial arts, workout videos and class, etc. Intentional means that you do it deliberately for the purpose of
exercise or fitness.
Only count the time actually spent exercising, for example a 3 hour hike with a 1 hour lunch break should be logged as 2 hours/6 points of exercise for the challenge.
● Hydration: 32 ounces of water daily = 1 Point and 64 ounces of water daily = 2 points
Although water remains the best hydration source, other healthy beverages can fulfill your hydration needs. Therefore, we are allowing for up to 32 ounces of ‘water alternatives’, such as milk, plain tea or coffee, seltzer, sparking water, infused water,
coconut water and other healthy low/no calorie drinks.
● Nutrition: Eat 2 or more servings of fruit and/or vegetables daily = 1 Point
