It’s a new year and the perfect time to participate in Argonne’s first lab-wide Virgin Pulse challenge. You’ll reap the benefits of more energy and less stress, and earn points in the 2017 Incentivized Wellness Program (IWP) to boot.
Sign-up begins Friday, Jan. 13, 2017, for Virgin Pulse’s latest activity challenge “Great American Adventure.” Teams of eight employees will share in the fun as they “step across” the U.S., unlocking new cities and earning Virgin Pulse points. The challenge starts Monday, Jan. 23, and runs through Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017. The competition is based on the total number of steps recorded by each team, as tracked by Virgin Pulse, which will display a “leaderboard” of teams. All participants finishing the challenge and averaging 7,000 steps per day will earn 1,000 Virgin Pulse points.
Visit Virgin Pulse to sign up today and earn 100 points. Anyone can invite others to form a team. Teams should comprise eight employees since steps are totaled, not averaged, so having a full eight member team is an advantage.
Team members who don’t track steps can still participate by using Virgin Pulse’s new “Step Converter” tool which allows other types of exercise to be “converted” into steps for the purpose of the challenge. Converted steps will not translate into points toward the Incentivized Wellness Program, they only count in the challenge.
