About Voluntold
Welcome to Voluntold!
We are two Canadian veterans that want to help fellow veterans and active military (as well as their spouses) to make working out into a game. Why? Well, it's been statistically proven that veterans suffer higher rates of obesety than the general population, that they are at a higher risk of mental health issues and are more prone to suicide. Our solution? We are Voluntelling you to get up and move.
Physical activity has been proven to produce better outcomes for veterans in the long term.
What we aim to do is to reward both small and large efforts on your part to make moving fun. We want to reward you for the hard work that you're about to put in. We want a strong and healthy Veteran community so that you can get back out there and kick some ass.
Sincerely,
Mike & Dave
What you need to be able to use Voluntold?
Want to start using Voluntold? Great!
You just need a few simple things:
Heart rate Monitor: Whether it comes in the form of a smart watch or a chest strap we need to be able to get your heart rate data.
Smart phone: Heart rate not for you? We got you. Go for a walk with your smart phone with the step counter activated and you can play as well. Other than that we need your fitness tracking app to be able to link to our service to get your workout information.
The will to change: The hard truth is that we can't do the workouts for you. We can't walk in your shoes. But we can help motivate you by giving you goals. 20 mintute workout and 6000 steps are a fairly low bar to be able to get to. But that is only the start! Toghether we can get you up and active again!
