New My Wellness opportunity: Earn points for 30 minutes of activity each day

January 25, 2023

There is a new opportunity for points in the My Wellness portal. For each day you engage in 30 minutes of physical activity, you can earn one point, up to a maximum of 200 points a year. Points can be earned for 30 minutes of activity such as biking, swimming, fitness class, sport, hiking, gardening or any other activity that gets your blood pumping.

Visit the My Wellness portal or log in to the app to manually add your 30 minutes of physical activity daily. See the Employee Wellness site for more details on how to enroll.

“Don’t Let Winter Derail Your Workout” from the Live Well, Work Well newsletter

If you find it harder to keep up with your workouts as the temperatures drop, you’re not alone. Many Americans find it increasingly difficult to remain committed as the holiday blues, shorter days and less-than-ideal weather create obstacles. Whether you’re a gym-goer or outdoor exerciser, there are simple ways to overcome winter obstacles and keep your fitness on track:

  • Remember to warm up. If you’re an outdoor exerciser and the weather is colder, try doing your warmup inside. Not only will you raise your internal body temperature before going outside, but you’ll also increase the temperature of your muscles, which can reduce your risk for injury.
  • Prep the night before. If you’re an early morning exerciser, set out everything you need for the next day the night before. Then, all you need to do when your alarm goes off is get up, get dressed and go to the gym.
  • Have a backup plan. Even the most dedicated exercisers can lose their motivation. That’s why it’s essential to have a backup workout plan that you can do at home. It doesn’t have to be lengthy, as doing something is better than doing nothing at all. Staying on top of your fitness during winter can be challenging, but keep pushing and think about why you work out in the first place. Focus on your reason.
