We are spending more time on sedentary activities. Inactivity and prolonged sitting are associated with an increased risk of several lifestyle diseases and premature death.
Your fitness, measured by VO2max, is a highly reliable indicator of health, more significant than blood pressure, cholesterol, and BMI combined. Myworkout has developed unique technology that can measure your VO2max and biological age with scientific precision - just by using a smartphone.
An activity tracker in the app displays HIT (High-Intensity Training) minutes per session. If you are breathless for more than 2 minutes, the app starts giving you HIT points. It is these minutes that improve your heart health, fitness, and performance.
The app will provide you with a fitness evaluation that indicates your risk of developing lifestyle diseases, your potential for improvement, and an individual plan to enhance your heart health.
Using Myworkout typically reduces biological age by 7 years within 8-10 weeks. Statistically, this increases productivity and reduces sick leave. This is science, supported by Messi, Ronaldo - and 30 years of clinical research on various patient groups!
How to score points
All activities earn points as long as they are logged into the app. This can be done directly in Myworkout Go (start/stop) or by connecting a heart rate monitor. We give extra points for HIT minutes, which are the most essential for your physical health.
If you wait a day to register your activity, you risk getting 0 points earned in the activity competition.
Questions about how to connect a heart rate monitor, what HIT minutes are, how they are collected, and much more can be found in our knowledge base.
HIT vs. activity points
You get 4 points per HIT minute and 1 point per activity minute. Activity minutes are not in addition to HIT points. You do not get HIT points for strength training.
Point limitation
The weekly point limit is set at 200 points. This corresponds to 2 sets of 4x4 sessions per week, in addition to 2 strength sessions of 20 minutes each. The purpose is to create sustainable habits.
Do not use the app for this
As a rule of thumb, the app is intended to measure your physical activity and fitness level. You should, therefore, refrain from using the app on your way to the coffee machine when shoveling snow or walking the dog.
More specifically, for this campaign, we recommend that you focus on the training program we have made available to you here.
Want to learn about the fountain of youth? How to burn a calorie? Or how do you train like Lionel Messi and Ronaldo? Then this is the seminar for you.
If you haven’t started exercising before, walking is the easiest way to get started. It keeps both legs active, which is vital for the blood to flow through the veins via the heart in the most efficient way. When you walk at a faster pace or on uphill slopes, you may start to get out of breath. We would like you to enter this zone twice a week for approx. 16 minutes each time. If you do this for a few weeks, your physical capacity will improve, so you can walk faster and maybe start running.
If you already enjoy working out and know how it feels to be out of breath, do your thing and log it in the app 🥳.
