About the Heart and Sole Step Challenge:
As OSU-CHS prepares for the Heart Walk, the Department of Wellness encourages all employees to begin making choices that can benefit their heart health. Heart health boosting behaviors can include exercise, like walking or running, and consuming heart healthy foods, such as those on the Mediterranean Diet.
Challenge Rules and Information:
Due to its enormous benefits to heart health, we will be exploring the different cities in which the effects of the Mediterranean Diet were first discovered throughout the Heart and Sole Step Challenge. Walking to each destination in teams sized no larger than 3, every 1 mile a participant walks in the real world is equal to 5 miles on the challenge map. Upon arrival at each destination, participants will receive a badge with the location's name. Using the information provided in the badge's description, teams can then complete the activity correlating with that location to earn additional points. Teams will know that they have completed the challenge once they have reached the end of the trail and the finish line badge has been received.
Viewing Badges:
Although in-app notifications are provided upon the receipt of a badge, the app does not currently have the capability to display badge descriptions. In order to view a badge's description and its clues, participants must log in to their account at challengerunner.com using a web browser (via either a desktop computer or mobile device.) Once log-in is complete, select "profile" under the user's name, then select "badges," and click on the badge to view its description.
Well on Target: As an added bonus, those who are insured through the Blue Access for Members healthcare plan can create an account at wellontarget.com if they have not already done so, sync their fitness tracker with the site, and begin earning points toward incentives through Blue Cross Blue Shield.
