Earning Credits
There are three different ways to earn credits: attending activities which are usually on the main campus, completing tasks on your own or participating in challenges. Wellpower lists many activities and events on its schedule. Use the schedule to locate activities you want to attend and to find out how to log your credits using the honor system. Read the homepage article called
"Extra Credit! More Ways to Earn Wellpower Credits" for information about additional ways to earn credits not found on the schedule. Challenges do not require attendance at events, but are completed on your own. Most credits are logged by you, but some are logged for you!Challenges
 |
A challenge is a designated period of time
during which we are focusing our attention on building a particular healthy
habit. The activities required are completed on your own and do not require
attendance at a class or event.
Example: The physical challenge runs 6 weeks long and asks you to track your exercise outside of SMU fitness classes. You will log 1 point for every 10 minutes of activity at the moderate or strenuous level. You can hike, walk, jog, lift weights, play basketball, do yoga etc...the choice is yours!
