“The management on board Gjøa takes the health of its employees seriously. This year's health campaign focuses on achieving better health, challenge yourself and join this year's campaign”
Welcome to Gjøa's health challenge! Join us and improve your health by collecting HIT points through activities you enjoy and follow your own progression towards better fitness and a healthier everyday life.
We are spending more time on sedentary activities. Inactivity and prolonged sitting are associated with an increased risk of several lifestyle diseases and premature death.
Your fitness, measured by VO2max, is a highly reliable indicator of health, more significant than blood pressure, cholesterol, and BMI combined. Myworkout has developed unique technology that can measure your VO2max and biological age with scientific precision - just by using a smartphone.
An activity tracker in the app displays HIT (High-Intensity Training) minutes per session. If you are breathless for more than 2 minutes, the app starts giving you HIT points. It is these minutes that improve your heart health, fitness, and performance.
The app will provide you with a fitness evaluation that indicates your risk of developing lifestyle diseases, your potential for improvement, and an individual plan to enhance your heart health.
Using Myworkout typically reduces biological age by 7 years within 8-10 weeks. Statistically, this increases productivity and reduces sick leave. This is science, supported by Messi, Ronaldo - and 30 years of clinical research on various patient groups!
How to collect HIT
HIT stands for high-intensity training, and this type of training is the most important thing you can do for your own health. You can either follow our standard 4x4 protocol in the app or connect the app to a heart rate monitor or belt of your choice. Do a biological age assessment with the app and see how you can collect points the next time you run for the bus.
Most of us get out of breath walking uphill, so you can earn HIT points by doing a range of different activities. You can walk, run, cycle, row etc. The goal is 32 HITs per week. In the overview, your progress will be shown as a % of the total goal.
Questions about how to connect a heart rate monitor, what HIT minutes are, how they are collected and much more can be found in our knowledge base.
We recommend that you focus on the training program we have made available to you here.
Want to learn about the fountain of youth? How to burn a calorie? Or how do you train like Lionel Messi and Ronaldo? Then this is the seminar for you.
If you haven’t started exercising before, walking is the easiest way to get started. It keeps both legs active, which is vital for the blood to flow through the veins via the heart in the most efficient way. When you walk at a faster pace or on uphill slopes, you may start to get out of breath. We would like you to enter this zone twice a week for approx. 16 minutes each time. If you do this for a few weeks, your physical capacity will improve, so you can walk faster and maybe start running.
If you already enjoy working out and know how it feels to be out of breath, do your thing and log it in the app 🥳.
