What if I want to do an activity other than those in the program?

That’s fine. Any activity that gets you moving, increases your heart rate, and works your muscles counts toward the goal.

How does Spring Into Motion track progress?

Your goal is to accumulate 20 or more springers during the 4-week program by recording dedicated minutes: 30-44 minutes earns a green springer; 45-59 earns an orange springer; and 60 minutes or more earns a purple springer.

Any combination of green, orange, or purple springers counts toward your goal. If you’re just starting out, shoot for 20 green springers; if you’re already active, aim higher. The idea is a challenging yet realistic target that develops exercise habits you can maintain for good.

Will I lose weight participating in Spring Into Motion?

Many people do, but that’s not the main goal. Studies show that people who are active are more likely to maintain a healthy weight than those who are inactive. Being active offers numerous other health benefits, including: reduced heart disease risk, decreased cancer risk, less stress, better blood glucose control, slower aging process, improved mood, greater emotional/psychological well-being, and better sleep.

Why does someone who goes dancing for 30 minutes get the same credit as someone who runs hard for 30 minutes?

Spring Into Motion is designed to encourage people to get out there and move. Some will choose a lower-intensity activity. Others will be training for their tenth race. The idea is to challenge yourself — no matter how highly fit or less fit you are — and have a little fun.
