MOBILE ACCES
We’ve made it easier than ever to log activity from the gym, the trail or the field. Participants can visit blueandyoufitnesschallege-ark.com and log activity from their phone or tablet.
JOURNEY MAP
When a participant logs activity, he or she earns points and a star for that day of logging. The star appears at a location in a fictional town. Each star contains a message and tip for how to make small wellness changes, proving you can start your health journey anywhere you are.
STAY ACTIVE
Individuals need to log at least 30 days of exercise to earn a completion certificate.
