Challenges

10K-A-DAY

Aim for 10,000 steps a day and use your favorite step tracker to record your activity. The more steps you take, the faster you move along one of the program’s fun virtual routes. You can participate up to three times and earn 100 points each time or up to 300 points ($300).

How to track: To get started, you must first register for the 10K-A-Day challenge. Once you’re registered, there are two ways you can enter your steps: by syncing a tracking device or by entering them manually on the web or the 10K-A-Day smartphone app.

If you own a tracker:

• After you register and sync your device, your steps may be counted beginning Jan. 1, 2023, depending on the type of tracker you use.
• Use the 10K-A-Day smartphone app to log activity (which simultaneously syncs with your online account), view recipes and health tips, “visit” locations, and track your progress.

If you do not own a tracker, or you complete activities when not wearing your tracker:

• After you register, you can convert any activity into steps using the online tool, and record the activity as steps.
• Or you can enter the step count from another type of step counter, pedometer or smartphone step tracker.

Goal: Stay active enough to complete 700,000 steps throughout the year. Or keep going to automatically complete 1,400,000 steps and earn a second incentive. If you want to keep moving, you can earn a third incentive by completing 2,100,000 steps.

Timing: You can go at your own pace. For every 2,000 steps you record, you’ll move a mile on the 10K-A-Day route.

Using a Tracking Device for 10K-A-Day

If you are using a new tracker this year, be sure to update your challenge enrollment to make sure your device syncs.

If you sync a Garmin for the first time, it will sync your steps back three months. A YOO, Movable or Apple Health device will sync your steps back six months. And a Fitbit will sync back 365 days.

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION WALKING CHALLENGE

The Rockwell Automation Walking Challenge is all about working more cardio into your life and staying active. You can complete this challenge two times and earn 100 points for each completed challenge, up to 200 points ($200). To get started, you can choose one of the two walking challenges listed below.

• 100 Miles in 100 Days
• ROK Around the World

How to track: Track your steps on your tracking map. Once you complete your challenge, log in to the Virgin Pulse website or app to report your completion.

Goal: Make it to the last stop of your walking challenge. Complete the same challenge a second time, or choose a different route, to earn a second incentive.

Timing: Experts recommend that you walk or exercise the equivalent of 8,500 steps a day to reach 700,000 steps in about 12 weeks.

Community Athletic Events

If exercise is already part of your everyday life, and you participate in events such as 5K or 10K walks/runs, half-marathons, marathons, triathlons, team sports, tournaments or similar athletic competitions, you can receive your Take Action incentive credit. You can complete up to two events and earn 100 points for each event or up to 200 points ($200).

We know most athletes invest in at least 12 weeks of training time, and we want to acknowledge your hard work! Therefore, you can take credit for your athletic event(s) instead of tracking daily  physical activity. Complete up to two events your way this year—run, walk, ski, swim, bike, softball, tennis, etc.—and earn the Take Action activity incentive.

Health Coaching

AWARE

Receive one-on-one support from mindfulness-based stress reduction trained health and wellness professionals for self-guided individual practice. Call Workplace Options at 1.855.897.4044 to get started. You can complete this program one time to earn 100 points ($100).

How to track: Once you complete six weekly telephonic sessions, track your activity at member.virginpulse.com.

Goal: Manage stress by participating in telephonic mindfulness sessions.

Timing: Complete six weekly telephonic sessions.
