ahealthyme Activity Challenge
Team Captain Guide
Congratulations, you’re a Team Captain in the upcoming Activity
Challenge!
The Activity Challenge starts on January 23, 2017. Let’s commit to improving our wellbeing
together. Here’s what to expect:
Your Individual Goal:
To successfully complete this 6 week challenge, and be eligible for your wellness points, you’ll
need to log 900 moderate exercise minutes (an average of 150 exercise minutes per week).
Moderate exercise activities can range from brisk walking to biking to dancing.
Exercise must be entered on the ahealthyme website (www.ahealthyme.com/login) or on the
HealthyNow app, to be counted toward the challenge goal.
Your Team’s Goal
Wellness points are earned individually. Team rankings are based on team exercise minute
averages. At the end of the 6 week challenge, the team with the highest average number of
exercise minutes wins!
Your Responsibilities as a Team Captain:
1.) Create a team. Team Captain Enrollment begins at 8:00am on January 16, 2017!
