How to Create a Step Challenge

Do you need some additional motivation to increase your physical activity? Sometimes, we all do! 

Creating a Personal Step Challenge is a great way to push yourself but also to enter a fun competition with your friends! 

To create a Personal Step Challenge on the Virgin Pulse platform, follow these steps: 

1. Log in to your Virgin Pulse account

2. Click on the Social option and select Challenges from the drop-down menu. 

3. Under the Personal Step Challenges you will be able to select among the three options: 1-day Super Stepper, Weekend Walk-Off, and Weekday Step-Off.

Let's break down what each one of them means and how to create them!

1-day Supper Stepper

1-day Supper Stepper is a challenge that starts at 12:00 AM and runs until 11:59 PM. 

To create it, you should click on the 1-day Super Stepper option and you will be taken to a new page. Once there, you can view the Challenge Rules before you click on Next, which takes you to the next step.

On the next page, you can give your challenge a unique name and a personal message to motivate yourself and others! Once you complete these steps, you should click on Create option. 

 

When you create your Step Challenge, you will be able to invite players, as a friendly competition. By clicking one of the options, either the Invite Players in the top left corner or by clicking on the purple plus icon. 

Note: The players you can invite to participate in your challenge are your colleagues that you have added as your friends previously.

The challenge is now ready to go and will start the next day at 12:00 AM!

Weekend Walk-Off
