2019 Chorus.FM Wellness Challenges [January 2019 - Step Challenge]

2019 Chorus.FM Wellness Challenges
With 2019 around the corner, a lot of us will be setting wellness goals for the year. One of the best ways to make sure you keep up with and achieve your goals is through accountability. So, for the new year we will be running monthly wellness challenges for anyone who wants to participate. This will allow us to work on our goals together through friendly competitions and to keep each other active, engaged, and accountable.

The Challenges
The challenges will be ran through inKin, which has both Apple and Android apps and an online web portal. inKin allows participants to use a multitude of fitness tracker devices and apps to log their progress and various metrics related to the competitions and wellness goals. Participants who do not have a tracker device or use an app not supported by inKin can still manually enter their metrics into the app and web portal, so if you don't see your device or app supported, you can still participate!

We will have a different challenge each month for the year. This allows all sorts of participants with different wellness goals, activity levels, and abilities to participate. You might do better during some challenges than you do others, but the most important part is that you're working towards your wellness goals.

The metrics available for challenges are Steps, Distance, Calories Burned, and Activity Time. These four metrics are tracked based on your fitness device/app or your manual entry. Challenge rules state that the person with the highest result at the end of the challenge is the winner. So for the challenges the person with the most steps, highest total distance, most calories burned, or highest cumulative activity time logged is the winner.

Schedule:
Below is the schedule for the year (subject to change based on participants' desire).
January: Steps
February: Calories Burned
March: Activity Time
April: Distance
May: Steps
June: Calories Burned
July: Activity Time
August: Distance
September: Steps
October: Distance
November: Activity Time

Winner:
The winner of each month will get a $10 gift card from the merchant of their choice from me once the winner has been verified by inKin. In the event that I win, the $10 will be rolled over into the next months challenge until someone else wins and then the prize will reset to $10 for the following month's challenge again.

Participants:
Anyone can request to join at anytime during the year. Participants are not required to participate in every challenge, but are encouraged to do so! To request to join, go to http://app.inkin.com/corporate/2709 .

You'll need to create a profile with inKin and set up your fitness tracker or app to give permission to read your data to inKin. Then request to join the Chorus.FM group. I'll approve you and then send you the invite to the latest challenge.

I love that you made the fast food challenges and now the health challenge

 

Count me in!

 

I'm a changed person Ian

Hell yeah!

 

@dylan I'm in but I think maybe we should change the gift card so we don't give Jeff Bezos $120 so he could ride an ATV over a poor person's grave or whatever he does

 

Yeah I've been thinking about that since I posted it, I was just like oh amazon gift cards are easy to get. But, I'll change it to just $10 gift card to whatever the winner wants or something if you have any other ideas?

 

hard to think of other universal places everyone goes to maybe Target or letting people pick works, you know I didn't want to shame

 

Count me in Dylan

 

What if for my health I need to burn less calories due to being a shrimp

 

Punctuation!

 

InKin has less than two stars in the App Store and it rated 17+

 

Well first of all fuck you
second of all jk
third of all you get your own challenge, I don't know if this sounds like a threat or sexual or both

 

I guess I’m in

I usually just do strength training with a side of cardio, but this sounds good 2 me

 

I am in for sure. Is this app free?

 

Yup! I'll send you a PM with instructions.

 

you can still join and participate if you want to!

 

Okay I'll do it

Expect the exact amount of effort you should expect from me

 

So super competitive?

 

I like to think that everyone will have a slightly different interpretation than everyone else and we all get to decide which interpretation is canon for ourselves

 

My headcanon is that this opinion is based in a steep love of fan fiction and a very unpopular ship. I always secretly knew you were a Draco Malfoy/Ron Weasley shipper.

 

I always wanted Crabbe and Goyle to turn heel (or I guess turn hero?)

 

You’re my favorite

 

discriminating against @Ken i see

 

this is a great idea but signing up for a publicly competitive thing will just give me anxiety because i am the opposite of most people and do best with exercising when it’s my own private little world, i am the true non competitive millennial. good luck y’all

 

I'm the same way about this tbh
