In our stake of the church, they have a program to help motivate people to go out and get exercise - to stay physically fit. It is not a big deal, and for a lot it is not very motivating. It was for me. I actually decided to do it and really keep track. Here is how it works. Your get 1 point for exercising. That can be a 1 1/2 mile walk or run. It can be working out. It can be biking for 1/2 hour. It can be swimming. It can be playing an aerobic sport. You have to keep track of your points. Then, if you get 200 points in a year, that is good for a bronze award, 300 gets you a silver award, and 400 for a gold medal and award. That means more than one point per day for gold - so running 3 miles is 2 points (and you can't get more than 3 points in one day.) I really kept track and it really did motivate me - and I made 427 points last year. Today they passed out the awards. There were five men who got gold - I was one of them.
