From 2024... Take your fitness to the VO2 max
From early next year, you can immediately earn up to 10,000 Vitality points depending on your cardio fitness.
Cardio fitness is an important way to understand your health. A high level of cardio fitness increases your likelihood of living a long life in good health.
The most reliable measure of cardio fitness is VO2 max. This is simply the amount (volume) of oxygen your body uses while exercising and is a common tool to understand your fitness. A higher VO2 max indicates a higher level of fitness and endurance.
From 2024, you'll earn up to 10,000 Vitality fitness points a year based on the VO2 max estimate on your Apple, Garmin or Samsung fitness device or from the results of a Vitality Fitness Assessment. These points will contribute to your maximum 30,000 Vitality fitness points a year.
Speaking of points... From 1 January 2024, we're expanding the ways in which members can earn Vitality fitness points, recognising short bursts of high-intensity workouts and longer endurance workouts at a light intensity.
Vitality fitness points you can earn in 2024:
