How To Earn LinkedIn Wellness Points

Written by Coach Tom McGlynn February 02, 2024

Your activity contributions go a long way!

Movecoach understands employees move in all different ways. Below we've worked with your employer and the NHS to even the playing field, and give cyclists, yogis and walkers the same chance to earn wellness points for your movement.

*All points are rewarded on a monthly basis, based on the criteria below.

How to earn points by logging activity:

Per week = 20 points

  • Complete 3 workouts per week (yoga, cross train, classes)
  • Complete 3 mindfulness sessions
  • Cycle 75 miles (120 KM)
  • Step 21 miles (34 KM)
  • Run 21 miles (34 KM)
  • Walk 21 miles (34 KM)
  • Swim 5 miles (8 KM)
LinkedIn Movecoach Milestones = 100 - 500 points
  • 20 Mindfulness Sessions = 100 points
  • 45 Mindfulness Sessions = 200 points
  • 75 Mindfulness Sessions = 300 points
  • 110 Mindfulness Sessions = 400 points
  • 150 Mindfulness Sessions = 500 points

FAQ:

1) Can I earn more than 20 points per week and/or more than 125 points per week?

You can only earn points for one physical activity per week. This is a great time to consider mindfulness to bump up your points earnings. 

For example, if you workout more than 3x, cycle more than 75 miles, and meditate 3x all within a week, you've earned a total of 40 points per week. 20 points for logging 3 workouts and 20 points for meditating 3 times per week.

2) Can I earn 100 points for hitting the first running milestone and an additional 100 for hitting the first workouts milestone?

No, you can only earn points for one physical activity milestone at a time.

For example, if you step 100 miles you will receive 100 points and you will no longer be able to receive 100 points for any other activities such as running/swimming/etc.
