HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS
- Create a new Sprout at Work account starting April 1, 2025.
- Start finding out who wants to be a Captain and form your team between April 1 and April 30.
- Team up with 2-20 of your fellow employees in the Exercise Across Abbott Challenge.
- Starting May 1, earn points for your team each time you report your minutes of exercise through May 31. Swim, bike, hike, do yoga — whatever gets you moving helps your team move up the leaderboard.
- We are committed to the integrity of tracking exercise activities with Exercise Across Abbott. If any unusual activity is detected, employees will be promptly notified to make necessary corrections. Employees will be disqualified if corrections are not made. This helps us maintain a trustworthy and enjoyable experience for everyone.
- All teams earn Exercise Across Abbott T-shirts!
