Everyone has a chance to qualify for $50, $150, even $250.

The Lifestyle Success program focuses on four major areas: activity, awareness, healthy living, and prevention. The Lifestyle Success program brings a customized wellness program to your school to improve each employee’s health while managing health care costs. OSBA’s wellness coordinator Krista Edwards will work with each district to entice, reward, and empower each employee to take charge of their health and lead a healthier lifestyle.

First, find your registration code. This is a school-specific code so when your district competes in challenges, you will be placed in your own school’s community. You will use this registration code to create your MotionConnected Portal for tracking your activity and points. Then, set up your account with MotionConnected.

The main focus of the wellness program is based on tracking steps. There are several devices that can be used to track your activity:

  • Register an account with The Wellness Outlet.
  • Shop online for a new tracking device in The Wellness Outlet; store coupons may be available. You can also use an existing device if it is compatible with Garmin, Apple, or Fitbit.

There are several ways to link your device to your MotionConnected portal. The most popular is by smartphone.

  • By smartphone on your MotionConnected site, click the My Devices tab.
  • Choose the link button for the brand of device that you have.
  • Enter your login and password.
  • Initial sync can take up to 24 hours. Do not delete your device and start over.
  • After the initial sync, each upload will take 2-5 minutes.

There is an option to use your smartphone as a tracker using Fitbit Mobile Track. There are tutorials on how to do this under the MotionConnected support tab as well as in-depth instructions on how to link all of the devices.

If your device is not linked to MotionConnected, your activity will not be fed to MotionConnected for your points to be counted. Please make sure that your MotionConnected account is getting information from your device. Again, if it is not, you will not be getting points for your activity and activity cannot be backlogged in most cases.

Now that you have your tracking device, the next step and the start to a healthier lifestyle and those awesome prizes is to do the following:

  • Activity—You can walk, run, swim, or play sports; practically anything you do that gets your heart rate up. You pick the exercise, and your steps convert to points.
  • Awareness—Be sure to stay up to date on the monthly Wellness Challenges for extra motivation and points.
  • Healthy Choices—We all know that exercising is only half the battle when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. Make sure you drink plenty of water, eat those veggies, and don’t forget about breakfast. Visit your myInertia portal Scorecard to watch other videos on how to make healthy lifestyle choices and to earn points.
  • Prevention—Taking preventative measures is another important part of staying healthy. Participate in preventative measures such as getting an annual physical to earn points.

Be sure to upload your activity to your device regularly. Visit your MotionConnected portal often to review your Scorecard where you can view your activity, points, and to view each month’s challenge!

Congratulations! Now that you’ve done the hard part, you can earn up to $250 and have a chance to win up to $10,000 cash or other monthly prizes. Here is an overview of how you can win.

Year-end cash reward.

A virtual meeting will be set up and the winner picks two bags. The employee must match up two $1,000 gift certificates from the grab bags, to win the $1,000; however, even if you don’t match up the $1,000 bags, whatever the amount of the certificate that is in the bags you picked, you get to keep! You are guaranteed to win at least $150!
  • Merchandise Prize Drawings (average value of $400)—Names will be drawn for a winning employee to pick a prize with an average value of $400. Click here to view the prize list.
