Each participant can set his/her/their own personal goals.

You may want to walk, run, zumba, play basketball, or bike. Think about a personal fitness goal you want to set for yourself (don't worry - no one will know your goal but you).  At registration, you will have the option to choose one of the following three activity levels:

1. 3 - 7 hours per week (approximately 30 min - 1 hour per day)
2. 7 - 14 hours per week (approximately 1 - 2 hours per day)
3. 14+ hours per week (approximately 2+ hours per day)

Reach your goal each week to be featured on the Recognition Wall. Weekly totals are calculated from Monday to Sunday.

Enter your activity minutes after each workout here.

Here's our suggestion:

1. Check the website first. Each day, a new milestone on the map will reveal the next location of your virtual destination.
2. Make your workout meaningful with guidance from the Calendar of Purposefulness. A new motivational message will unlock each day to enhance your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual well-being.
3. Get moving.  Whether it's a walk around your block, a run on your treadmill, or a bike ride along the boardwalk. Get your #WellnessOn!
4. Enter your activity minutes after each workout here.
5. Be sure to download the Zoom background from each virtual destination to share your triumphs with your friends and family. Tag @ExperienceViterbi on Instagram.
6. Connect with others in the Viterbi Community on the Viterbi Tour de L.A. Slack workspace. Cheer for each other, motivate each other, share with each other, and lean on each other. “Turns out, not where, but who you’re with that really matters” - DM

How to keep track of my activity minutes?
You can find a form to input your daily time on our webpage. Please enter with your name, email address, and activity minutes. Your information will be updated in our system automatically. We will count your daily time after each Sunday to come up with your weekly total.

Do I need to update my activity minutes every day?
Tracking your activity on a daily basis is highly encouraged to report the most accurate activity minutes. However, if you miss a day, you can always add to your workout time the next day.

Is there anyone to verify the authenticity of my activity minutes?
No. We believe in the Viterbi Honor System. This challenge is not about competition; it’s about doing something good for ourselves.

How to unlock the customized zoom visual background?
Every time you hit a milestone, you can find a background inside the Routes. Please feel free to post it to Instagram and tag @ExperienceViterbi.

If I have a question, who can I contact?
Feel free to contact Emily at vgsl@vase.usc.edu with any questions or concerns, or reach out on Slack.

How do I track my time?
