The rewards of physical activity? Huge. Not only can it lead to up to 20% more weight loss when combined with eating better, but it may also boost self-esteem and mood, help you manage stress, reduce the risk of depression, and even lead to better sleep. And on WW, there’s yet another way that movement rewards you: with additional PointsTM!

The best way to track all of your PersonalPoints is to sync your activity tracker. If your device isn’t connected—or if you’re not sure if it’s properly synced—follow the simple steps below. Don’t panic if you don’t see your data right away! It can occasionally take up to two hours to retrieve data from your device or app.
