How to track your activity for each goal – choose only one
 

1. Achieve 10,000 steps/day for 5 days of the week (track using a smartphone app, fitbit, or pedometer).
   To track: take a picture or screenshot of your total number of steps at the end of the day. When you reach 5 days, email your team captain the pictures (they must also have the dates on them). Or, use the tracker form (see option 2 below).
    
2. Achieve 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous (must get you out of breath) exercise/week. *Must be in blocks of at least 10 minutes at a time
   To track: Use the tracker form (click the link to download) to log your exercise, and submit the tracker form for each week once you reach your goal. Remember, the exercise must be intense enough to raise your heart rate and get you slightly out of breath. You can use the talk test to be sure: you should be able to hold a conversation but you shouldn’t be able to sing at this level of comfort.
    
3. Earn 300 MEPs (MYZONE Effort Points) per week
   To track: get your MYZONE heart rate monitor using the staff/faculty order form (half of the cost is paid by wellness funds). Register your HR monitor:

Register Belt:

1. Go to myzone.org
2. Click on Register Belt
3. Click on English
4. Type the following:

• Facility Code – gcus001
• Unique Belt ID – On the back of your monitor is a number – example SN1234567
• Email Address – You can put any email address that you want. This is for your use.
• Password – Create a password
• Add me (Erin Calderone myzone nickname: mamago) as a connection.

Each week you complete 300 MEPs you should also receive a congratulatory email from MYZONE!
