Why are there changes?
The Challenge has been modified and streamlined to nudge participants towards achieving the recommended physical activity duration and intensity of at least 150 minutes of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) per week in the Singapore Physical Activity Guidelines.

Those who are just starting out, or are unable to undertake more intensive physical activity can aim to incorporate 5,000 steps into your daily routine to be rewarded. For the more active participants, you can engage in more MVPA regularly and receive rewards for clocking 10 to 30 minutes of MVPA daily.
