Join the AMD Fellows Forum Fitness Challenge
During the Fellows Forum, we invite you to participate in some friendly competition and work in teams to compete for a greater cause. Join the 3-Day Fitness Challenge and connect with your peers, race to the top of the Leaderboard and accelerate achieving your physical and mental fitness goals. Registration is easy! Download the app and be a part of the action!
3-DAY CHALLENGE: Starts on Monday, June 14 at 6:59 p.m. CDT and
ends on Wednesday, June 16 at 11:59 p.m. CDT
This Challenge app tracks your steps. All participants track their steps using their own personal Fitbit, Apple Watch, Garmin, or the step trackers integrated on their iPhone/Android smartphone via Apple Health or Google Fit. *
Additionally, the Challenge is designed to give you opportunities to accumulate
more steps by participating in different Bonus Activities including yoga, bootcamp, practicing gratitude
and more. Plus, the app converts your other physical activities into steps. There are 2 ways to win; as an
individual or in a team where you can help your team accumulate steps.
The Heka Well app collects activity data and creates a dynamic experience for you and your colleagues to compete. As an individual, you can win bragging rights and the “Golden Shoe” Award. As a team,
AMD will donate $20,000 to the AMD approved charities chosen by the top 3 teams.
Learn more about how you and your team can be at the top of the leaderboard by being active throughout the 2021 Fellows Forum Fitness Challenge. Instructions below.
