The 2024 Step-IT-Up Team Challenge is ready to hit the bWell Radio airwaves. Start a band, join the tour, and head to soundcheck to turn up the volume on the biggest challenge of the bWell year. Finding your wellness sound is good for your body, mind, and health. Even small changes can make a big difference.
Are you ready to rock? Let’s get this show on the road! Create or join a band on the bWell stage and compete against other BMC teams to track the most activity, and you’ll continue to climb the wellness charts. The team that records the highest average step count between May 6 and May 31 will be awarded the grand prize, which includes the winner’s trophy, a $250 gift card,* and 500 bWell points for each person on your team who also meets the 160,000-step individual goal.
*The Internal Revenue Code considers the gift card value as taxable income.
160,000-step goal. You will need to log at least 160,000 steps between May 6 and May 31 to be eligible for rewards. Once you reach the goal, keep moving. Every step you log gets your team closer to the highest average step count and the bWell Radio program grand prize, which will be awarded in September.
Choose how you'll move. Any activity (even dancing!) counts, and the more physical activity you get in, the more steps you accumulate.
Get the band out of the garage. Head outside for some fun in the sun (with sunblock, of course). The 2024 Soundcheck Scramble Step-IT-Up Team Challenge is a great way to prepare for summer and soak up the benefits of outdoor activity.
Make activity part of your lunchtime playlist. Lunchtime workouts are an excellent way of re-energizing your day. The break from your laptop/computer/phone is mentally reinvigorating. Getting out in the fresh air and increasing your heart rate is good news for your cardiovascular system and your general well-being.
Track your activity: Use your activity tracker or a smartphone app to record your movement. Embrace your inner rock star and prove that you can move—a lot—in May. Read more about tracking your steps here.

You will need to track all your activity with either a tracking device or smartphone activity tracker. Manually tracking is allowed only if your activity wasn’t already tracked through a device or app. You can also manually add activities you tracked on devices and apps that the bWell portal or app doesn't support.
See the activity conversion chart to estimate your activity. (Please note: Activity conversions are estimates; your actual step count may vary.)
Yes, form a band with up to six work colleagues and create a new team on the bWell portal that you all can join. Or join one of the open teams looking for new members. If you can’t find a team to match your sound, email support@wellright.com, and WellRight will assign you to a team. Your team will compete against other teams to achieve the highest average step count. The winning team will win the grand prize—a groovy team trophy, a $250 gift card,* and 500 bWell points for each team member who also meets the 160,000-step individual goal.
