1. WHAT IS IT?
The Get IN2IT™ Challenge is made just for kids so you can measure exactly
how well you are doing to keep your body fit and feeling great. You'll earn points
for everything you eat and do. The points are called "PEADS" – Points for Eating
and Doing Stuff. When you earn enough PEADS in a week, you win awards for the different
levels of living great that you reach. Become a Bronze Star, a Silver Star or even
a Gold Star!
2. HOW DOES IT WORK?
Use the Cool Moves & Eat Right online journals to keep track of everything you
eat and activities you do every week. You will earn PEADS for eating healthy food
and being active. The number of PEADS you earn in a week will determine which level
you achieve. Everyone who signs up gets an instant 200 PEADS added to their account.

3. WHAT are PEADS?
PEADS are Points for Eating and Doing Stuff. Each week you will earn PEADS for eating
and being active. Everybody who signs up for the Get IN2IT™ Challenge gets an instant
200 PEADS added to their account.
4. BONUS QUESTIONS
Hey, there are other kinds of activities you can do to be healthier. Check out the
Bonus Questions to see if you are doing any of them. You will earn 100 Bonus PEADS
for all the extra things you are doing! Try it, it’s fun! Note: Bonus PEADS are
not added to the PEADS you earn but you will be able to see how many you get.
5. SWEAT METER
The Sweat Meter lets you pick how hard you played. Some activities, like Carrying
Groceries, will only let you pick a Sweat level called "Wake Up". For these activities
you earn some PEADS because your body does have to work a little but not as hard
as if you go ice-skating for example. For Skating there are 3 choices on the Sweat
Meter. Get it?
Here are your Sweat Meter choices:
WHOA – This is as hard as you can go. You can't talk while you're
trying this hard, your heart is pounding, you are huffing and puffing and your muscles
hurt. WARNING: YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER EXERCISE THIS HARD!
GOING CRAZY – I got super hot and sweaty. I was breathing so hard
that I couldn't talk at all! I could feel my heart thumping, and my muscles were
tight and achy afterwards.
PLAYING HARD – I got warmed up and sweat a bit. When I put my hand
on my chest I could feel my heart beating faster. I was able to talk while I played,
but not easily.
HAVING FUN – I didn't get hot or make my heart beat faster, but
I was moving around and being active!
WAKE UP – Birds are perching on you. There's a spider web between
your leg and the wall. Sometimes people poke you to see if you are still alive.
Get up and get going!
6. WHEN DO I NEED TO ENTER MY INFORMATION?
