Total Wellness Points Challenge: Combine Your Wellness Challenges Year-Round
Running several wellness challenges a year is a great way to keep momentum – a mindfulness challenge in March, a step challenge in September, a sleep challenge in November. But how do you see everyone's effort across the whole year? The Total Wellness Points Challenge in YuMuuv combines several challenges into one cumulative points total, so every activity counts towards one big goal.

What Is the Total Wellness Points Challenge?
It is a YuMuuv challenge type that adds up the points from multiple individual challenges. You can run challenges at different times of the year and still see one combined result at the end – without manual spreadsheets.
How It Works
- Create your individual challenges – for example exercise minutes, steps or mindfulness.
- Assign wellness points to each activity so different activities can be compared fairly. See our guide to assigning wellness points.
- Choose which challenges count towards the total when you set up the Total Wellness Points Challenge.
- Follow progress – participants see their cumulative points from all included challenges.
- Celebrate at the end of the year – you get an overview of everyone's wellness journey and can recognize and reward participants.
Key Benefits
- Flexibility: run challenges whenever they fit your calendar and still sum up the results.
- Year-long motivation: employees see their progress build over the whole year.
- Customizable points: match point values to your company's goals.
- One view: follow individual and team progress across multiple challenges.
How to Set It Up

Already running a Total Wellness Points Challenge? You can add new individual challenges to it during the year, so every new initiative counts towards the final tally.
Best Practices
- Plan your year first – use the wellness challenge calendar or a quarterly 4-challenge plan.
- Mix activity and habit challenges so everyone can earn points.
- Reward participation, not just the top scorers – for example everyone who passes a points threshold. See the rewards guide.
- Share progress regularly with announcements to keep the year-long goal visible.
