Live a healthy lifestyle and yes I do get sick, but not much and still managed to achieve. They have recently introduced free weeks (I currently have 2) that I can use if ever I want to take a week off. You can always walk a Park Run or My Run and get 300 points for doing so, that's 600 points in a weekend for just walking a timed 5km event.

Scottdog Posted October 20, 2023 Share My weekly goal seems to be stuck on 1200 which I struggle to attain. I probably only hit the target once a month, but the goal never decreases. Â HowardSteele and nonky 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowardSteele Posted October 20, 2023 Share Thanks for all the replys ,much appreciated,I'll review the boring small print on the Vitaliy page on the desktop ...so it seems that the weekly goal cap has changed and can cap at 1200😲...this can be adjusted for diagnosed medical conditions. My wife was battling to achieve her goal due to health so we'll have to persue a medical re-evaluation and possible adjustment. 🙂 I still enjoy the Vitaliy benifit and get around R3000 or 30000 vitality rewards just from my weakly exercise achievements for the year .It pays for my annual Strave premium acount and and I have left to purchase a Christmas pressenf for myself at one of the retailreward participants. Have a great Weekend H.  Edited October 20, 2023 by HowardSteele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted October 20, 2023 Share The long rides at low heart rate and getting no points as a result is the reason I moved to the endurance / high performance category. I now have to get 1200 instead of 900 points weekly, but being able to get 600 from a single activity makes it quite easy to achieve. And no more getting nothing for hours of effort. I'm much happier.

It should be automatic, if you do not ask for it again the next year according to the rules. But you can just ask their support and they switch you back, happens in a few days.

Michael S Posted October 23, 2023 Share Updates for 2024 on 'standard' vitality  Fitness points We're also expanding the ways in which you can earn Vitality fitness points, recognising short, high intensity workouts and long, light intensity workouts. Earn 100 points for a workout of 15 to 29 minutes at a moderate or high intensity of over 70% of your age related maximum heart rate. Earn 200 points for a workout of 60 to 89 minutes and 300 points for a workout longer than 90 minutes, for light intensity workouts of 60% to 69% of your age-related maximum heart rate.  Due to low take-up, the Vitality High Performance Fitness Assessment will be discontinued in 2024.

Gr3mlin131 Posted October 23, 2023 Share The more interesting update seems like using VO2 Max from your watch instead of a fitness test for bonus points. That table is sure to spark some debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedal menace Posted October 23, 2023 Share Do not forget that A LOT of benefits is only applicable if you subscribe to extra features - i.e. bank card etc. Example: You do not get the free week if you are for example sick - if you are not a Discovery bank member. I personally find that to be the exact example of a monopoly forcing stuff down your throat for some benefits. NO THANK YOU! Edited October 23, 2023 by pedal menace nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
