Participation Point System

Want to earn free stuff like gift cards? All you have to do is participate and keep track of your points. Participation points must be submitted on the Participation Log or can be submitted online.

The incentive program point system has been modified to accommodate both shorter and longer activity durations, as well as a daily point maximum.  With the new daily point maximum, employees will only be allowed to accumulate 6 activity points per day (from physical activities... lectures and screenings are excluded from this total).  The new point system will go into effect February 1st.  Please review the points as they have changed for each activity.

Activity Workout Criteria
Following our program participation point system, a range of one to six points will be awarded for participation in any of the following categories that meet the activity-specific criteria:

I. Strength training exercise only: Minimum of 30 min. continuous duration strength training (free weights, strength training machines, floor based bodyweight activities, tubing or other forms of non-weighted resistance) in either single or multiple set format).  Strength training workout should be entire body, include all major muscle groups and antagonistically formatted (balanced opposing muscle groups).

Daily Maximum: 6 points

II. Cardiovascular only or cardiovascular and strength training combined: 65% of THR, or higher, must be maintained with activity to qualify as cardiovascular.  It heart rate requirement is not, met, refer to Walking criteria (below).  Cardiovascular activities include cycling, rowing, jogging/running, swimming, elliptical machine exercising, rollerblading, etc.

Daily Maximum: 6 points

III. Group Exercise: Group exercise acceptable in most formats (low impact, cardio funk, trim & tone, step, zumba, pilates, Jazzercise, Yoga, water aerobics (shallow or deep water) etc.) are all acceptable.  If you have questions please contact Jim Engelhardt.

Daily Maximum: 6 points

IV. Walking: Can be performed indoors (track) our outdoors (track, path, sidewalk or roads @45-65% of THR.  Please be careful to avoid roadway hazards or slick, unstable surfaces when walking outdoors.

Daily Maximum: 6 points

V. Sports Activities: Includes traditional sports with continuous activity such as basketball, volleyball, tennis, racquetball, etc.  Rest intervals may be present but should be brief between matches or games.  Since establishing heart rates is difficult with this activity, participants should be warm and sweating with increased respiration and heart rate.

Daily Maximum: 6 points

VI. Active-Rest Activities: The activity of choice can be broken into 20-minute intervals.  This activity can be defined as: any activity that involves gross motor movement not broken up by periods of sitting.  Examples of activities include, gardening, dog walking, table tennis, shuffleboards, softball, whiffleball, golfing (no cart… must walk and pull or carry), horse shoes, etc.)  *Points are being awarded for this category to promote general daily activity in addition to regimented workout participation.

Daily Maximum: 6 points

VII. Cardiovascular Exercise: 65% of THR, or higher, must be maintained with activity to qualify as cardiovascular.  If heart rate requirement is not, met, refer to Walking criteria (below).  Cardiovascular activities include cycling, rowing, jogging/running, swimming, elliptical machine exercising, rollerblading, etc.

Daily Maximum: 6 points

Because the employee wellness program is attempting to focus on employee health and since physical activity is just a portion of this, daily and annual point maximums have been set. The daily physical activity point maximum is 6 points. The annual physical activity point total maximum is 360 points. This means that to accomplish the 400 point incentive program goal, participating employees will need to attend some lectures and screenings throughout the year, not just achieve this goal through physical activity point accumulation.
