WW Insider Guide #5

Activity has an impressive résumé: it boosts moods, strengthens bones, reduces your risks of type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, and much more.

One not-to-miss feature on that “much more” list? Activity ramps up weight loss.

Why getting active NOW is really worth it

Members who move more at the beginning of their journey tend to be more successful in the long run. Why? Our scientists theorise that being active signals to your brain that something’s different. And that something different…is you.

Meet the new you: an “active person”

Each time you move, you collect evidence that you’re someone who’s active. Say you laced up and walked three days this week. Suddenly, you start to identify as an active person. It’s a powerful mindset shift, and a potent motivator.

Even if exercise was never your thing, we can help

If you love activity about as much as that third cousin you’ve met once, no judgment.

Remember: “activity in disguise” counts

Walk to the shops, play mini golf, dance with your kids.

Pair activity with something you love

E.g., jog to your favourite podcast. Work those legs, delight those ears!

Or with SOMEONE you love

We’re better together! Friends that move together stay together.

You really can start small - but DO start

It’s actually simple: the key to making activity a habit is consistency.

Because repetition = behaviour change, it’s better to do one small thing every day than one big thing every week. Plan for it!

Plus, there’s our brand new motivator to get moving: ADDING Points®!

In case we haven’t said it loud enough, let’s all-caps it for effect: YOU CAN NOW ADD UNLIMITED (!) POINTS TO YOUR WEEKLIES.*

Rest assured, you won’t gain weight spending the Points that get added to your Budget. Our algorithm is really smart that way.

Excited to get started but not sure how?

Glad you asked. At WW, we love to share.

Choose what you like, not THINK you should like

Don’t force popular or trendy workouts. Hated exercise = never-done exercise.

Fit activity into your life, not vice versa

Yes: yoga studio on your way home. No: the hot spot 45 minutes away.

Time to sync your fitness device - and make activity tracking even simpler

Track activity in two places? Never. If you have a fitness or activity device, we make it easy to link it to our app so all the tracking (and Points-adding!) happens seamlessly. It’ll take just 2 minutes.
