Frosty Posted November 25, 2015 Share Got my reward this morning too. As for next year, it looks promising... unless the fitness goal target increases according to your activity levels, i.e. You would get 1500 points for a 50-99Km road cycle or 120 - 359 minutes moderate device workout or 90-119 minute vigorous device workout. I assume the goal will not be 1500 points as that would imply only one workout per week. I think their objective is to get people working out daily, hence the lower level points. Suddenly the "free" stuff requires actual work. Edited November 25, 2015 by geraldm24 Fisan, Pure Savage, Lexx and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatross Posted November 25, 2015 Share Anyone know if Vitality differentiates between a 50km road and a 50km mtb ride when awarding points? Runbikeswim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted November 25, 2015 Share Anyone know if Vitality differentiates between a 50km road and a 50km mtb ride when awarding points?Sorry, no points for a MTB ride - it's in black and white on their website. You can only get points for a road run or ride. Finally, the roadies have reason to smile. Note: Sorry, I couldn't resist a bit of hump day sarcasm (i.e. comic sans font = sarcasm). Edit: sorry, my bad - a dirt road is classified as a road, so the answer to your question is "Yes, it should be able to differentiate between a 50km tar road and a 50km mtb dirt road".

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 25, 2015 Share Anyone know if Vitality differentiates between a 50km road and a 50km mtb ride when awarding points?I would imagine that they base it on the effort involved given that mtb is so variable in nature. So until I'm told it's incorrect, go by time and vigorous or moderate effort on device It's really really difficult to give a static level of distance for mtb. Road by comparison is a simple surface, unchanging in everything but elevation. Mtb is far more effort for the distance Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted November 25, 2015 Share Going back to my original post with the points breakdown showing on Vitality's website: Currently you'd get up to 5000 points for an event (dependent on distance only) so I really hope the above 1500 and 3000 points on offer is for a ride rather than an event. But the fact that they put device workout for the same amount of points doesn't bother me if it's event or ride. The points to maintain Diamond status is one thing, but to achieve the weekly goal to get the zero cost benefit for gym membership, flights, etc., is important - that's where some real savings can be achieved. BTW - good to see a round of golf only gets 100 points. These days with golf courses punting golf carts over walking, it's hardly a workout.

wolver Posted November 25, 2015 Share Had a thought.... wouldn't it be cool if you could, by achieving a certain number of weekly goals, earn a Peak Performance test every six months or so?At R1000 - R1500 a pop i can't bring myself to do it annually, but would really like to. Definately healthier than a smoothie! Orbit, HBO, Frosty and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
