Mav-Tracks

What is Mav Tracks?
Mav-Tracks is an incentive program encouraging you to invest in your health and overall wellness. This program will include all aspects of health: physical, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Mav-Tracks will provide motivation to better understand wellness and improve behaviors.

Why participate?
The goal for Mav-Tracks is for you to take ownership of a healthy lifestyle. Making a conscious effort toward improving your health now may eliminate or help prevent illness and disease later in life. The purpose is to make wellness fun and lifelong! Recording activities that you participate in makes you more aware of your health behaviors. In no time, these behaviors are part of your everyday routine.

How does it work?
Mav-Tracks rewards you for taking steps toward improved health. Wellness activties are awarded points, or Hoof Prints, and all you have to do is record the activities in which you participate. Approved activities including aerobic exercise, strenght training, screenings, nutrition, safety, and many other areas (see the Activities and Points sheets for all information). You record your Hoof Prints on the internet in the on-line Mav-Tracks database. Points must be entered for any activity by the 5th of the following month. An example would look like this:

Date	Description	Duration	Hoof Prints
10/12	Health Fair	30	10
10/15	Jog (outside)	45	5+1=6
10/15-21	Wore Seatbelt 100%	-	2

Hoof Prints are earned at your own pace and actvities can be done anywhere: home, personal gym (YMCA, Gold's, 24Hour Fitness, etc) and school. We encourage you to utilize all the resources you have available, especially here at UNO. Hoof Prints are recorded based on the honor system. Don't cheat your health by giving yourself Hoof Prints you haven't earned! As you accumulate Hoof Prints, you are on your way to earning prizes. Hoof Prints are cumulative, meaning you never start back at zero after reaching a prize level.

Prize Levels:
Level 1	300 Hoof Prints	T-Shirt
Level 2	500 Hoof Prints	Sports Bottle
