The Pods
We have divided PUSH activities into 4 pods: physical, intellectual, community, and everything else. It is quite common to find yourself drawn to one or two pods -- we all have natural likes and dislikes. However, for diversity and extra challenge, pick activities from each pod. Bonus: by doing this you will earn points towards an Epic Badge!
Physical Pod
Modern conveniences, sedentary jobs, and lack of time can contribute to a decrease in physical activity. However, as we all know, we just feel better when we are active.
When choosing from this bucket always follow your doctor’s recommendation for your personal physical activity.
All movement counts and can make a positive difference. With some of these physical challenges, the commitment or actual event can count for the push.
Intellectual Pod
Don’t let the word be intimidating, this pod is all about learning and expanding your mind. We came into this world learning and engaging our brains daily and this was meant to be continued lifelong.
Continuing this fosters growth and enrichment. Learning is a lifelong endeavor which increases self-esteem, social connection, and mental stimulation. The Intellectual Pod will look different for everyone and should be something that you find meaningful, useful or brings you joy.
Community Pod
There are many definitions for the word community. Community can be thought of as a group of people living in the same area or a feeling of shared attitudes. Reflect on who you consider to be your community.
Is it your neighborhood, the city or state you live, your virtual groups, friends/family, or maybe even your professional group?
In fact, we are all connected in some way and the communities join us. Being an active community member helps connect society and betters the world.
Everything Else Pod
We do not want to limit push possibilities, and knew a pod was needed to capture all the great other possibilities. The sky is the limit in the Everything Else Pod.
Use our examples as a guide but it's completely up to you. It is fun to see what the push community does in this pod.
The Levels
Easy Breezy
LEVEL 1
A Level 1 Push requires very little planning and is a small change in your everyday schedule. We know that even small changes can give you a spark in your day and have a positive impact on the way you think and act. During each month there will be Push Days dedicated to Level 1 Pushes.

Growth Spurt
LEVEL 2
A Push in this category takes a bit more engagement and effort. This is the most popular level with endless options. Trying a new activity, exploring a new spot, or learning a new skill can all be considered a Push in Level 2. Level 2 can be spontaneous or planned, it is all up to you.
Bucket List
LEVEL 3
This level is reserved for really getting out of your comfort zone, stretching yourself, or accomplishing a personal goal. Although similar to a Growth Spurt, Level 3 is that next step of excitement and can become a lifelong memorable event - even something on your bucket list.
