WE have known for some time that our steps have value. Because of the health benefits of walking and clocking additional steps, insurance providers and the government have offered monetary incentives for us to exercise.
In the case of the National Steps Challenge, the Health Promotion Board’s (HPB) campaign to get Singaporeans moving, 10,000 steps earns you 40 points, while exercise that raises your heart rate past a threshold earns you another 40 points. Based on an “exchange rate” of 150 points for S$1, this roughly translates to S$0.00002667 per step and S$0.008889 per minute of exercise.
