The Regions Healthy Challenge is not a replacement for the Virgin Pulse activity program.  Regions Healthy Challenge is another wellness program which focuses more on overall wellbeing and personal goals than physical activity alone.  Regions Healthy Challenge is an option to help associates set goals for healthier living and to form healthy daily habits.  The challenge runs for a two-month period, which we hope to run again if associates find it engaging and successful.

The Regions Healthy Challenge mobile app is available for free in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

Here are a few ideas to help spur team participation:

• Host a healthy pot luck
• Plan a Healthy Selfie contest of your own
• Take group walks during break or lunch
• Coordinate a healthy recipe swap
• Sign up to walk a 5k charity event together as a team
• Organize a “best healthy dish” contest
• Invite a guest speaker on a health topic that interests the team

Contest Points never expire so you can spend them now or save them until you’ve earned more through other Regions initiatives.

No, photos are kept completely private. The challenge technology which is provided by Planet Fundraiser keeps all images received kept secret. Associates have the choice to share each photo they submit. After submission, the image goes to the Regions Wellness department for review before being uploaded to the Regions Healthy Challenge.
