Type of activity.
Just about any physical activity that uses large muscle groups counts. Basketball. Gymnastics. Swimming. Running. Students can take the Challenge alone, or together with friends and family.

Amount of activity.
The goal is for students to see how many points they can earn for their activities. Points are based on the amount of energy each activity burns. So the more active students are, the more points they'll get.

Tracking activities.
Our personal activity log makes it easy for students to track the time they spend on activities, right online. They can log time as often as they want, in amounts as short as 5 minutes. Students can't log time for activities they haven't done yet, but they can go back up to 7 days to enter past activities.

Earning awards.
When students reach a goal, their activity log will remind them that they've earned an award. You can order awards right online or by mail. Then students can move on to the next challenge in the Presidential Champions program.

Can students use pedometers?
Absolutely. Our personal activity log allows students to record steps measured with a pedometer instead of minutes.
