Our Challenges
Rock the Walk
This is an individual step challenge, created to promote getting the recommended 10,000 steps per day or an equivalent amount of physical activity. Typically, Rock the Walk is a six-week challenge with weekly prizes. Each week, step goals and prize values increase to keep players motivated and engaged. For those who prefer activities other than walking, conversion charts will help calculate the equivalent number of steps for whatever form of exercise completed.

For this challenge, teams of four-to-six players work together to drop 10% of their weight in 12 weeks. Prizes are offered for individual and team weight loss, with chances to win cash prizes. Participants are required to attend official weigh-in and weigh-outs to be eligible for major prizes. Each week, randomly selected participants each win a Visa gift cards simply for logging their weekly weight and completing an education quiz about weight loss and management.
