About the Person
Holly Turner, Baptist Memphis’ human resources manager, won a $500 prize as part of HumanaVitality’s Vitality Jackpot. All HumanaVitality® members are automatically entered into a monthly drawing to win prizes through the Vitality Jackpot™. Five thousand winners are chosen every month, and the prizes awarded are determined by each member’s Vitality Status™ at the time of the drawing. The higher your Vitality Status, the greater the prize value. Turner has achieved Platinum status – the highest possible – and was eligible to win a prize worth up to $500. She chose a camera. Read her HumanaVitality story below. Year One: The first year we had HumanaVitality, I would say I “dipped my toes in.” I claimed as many points as I could for things my family and I would have done anyway. In the Prevention and Vitality Kids categories, I made sure to submit claims for our health screenings, flu shots, and dental and vision exams. In addition, I sought out additional opportunities to earn points that required only a small amount of time and effort and no cost. This included the online health assessments, email address confirmation, monthly web activity, accepting online statements, calculators under the Education category, and the Vitality Check under the Prevention category. Finally, I made sure to claim points for documented activities my husband was already doing. This included blood donations under the Healthy Living category, and athletic events such as triathlons and 5K races under the Fitness category. I even joined him in the Baptist Memphis Well4Me 5K that year. That was an easy 250 points for each of us! (You don’t have to win. You don’t even have to run. You just have to finish it!) Even with all the above, during my first year with HumanaVitality, the Fitness category remained an untapped source of points for me. Many employees utilize our Baptist Memphis Wellness Center or other gyms that partner with HumanaVitality. In those situations, all the employee has to do is connect his/her HumanaVitality account to his/her membership with the partner facility, and 15 Vitality points are awarded automatically when he/she swipes in to the facility to exercise. My personal preference is to exercise at home using workout videos. So despite the fact that I truly was exercising consistently during Year One, I was not earning points for my activities. I decided not to let that be the case with Year Two. Year Two: Because I was consistent with claiming points for all my family’s other healthy activities during Year One, I earned enough Vitality Bucks to redeem a Polar heart rate monitor from the Vitality Mall at no cost to me! I created a Polar account, connected it to my HumanaVitality account, and since that time I have been able to take full advantage of my earning potential as far as Vitality Points go. I simply wear the heart rate monitor when I work out, sync my device to my Polar account every few days, and Polar sends my workout data to my HumanaVitality account. Now I, too, am earning 15 Vitality points for my workouts, right in my own home! To earn points using a heart rate monitor, the requirement is to exercise at an average of 60 percent or more of your maximum heart rate for a minimum of 30 minutes in a single workout session. Your maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting your age from 220. (A compatible chest strap transmitter must be worn during a workout for the heart rate data to be captured.) In addition to being able to earn 15 points per day for verified workouts, you also earn 15 bonus points for your first workout of each week. If you work out five times or more in a single week, then you get 40 more points on top of that!
