Digital challenges
With regular digital fitness challenges available, you can challenge yourself or compete with other Places Locker users! We try to vary the type of exercise involved so that you'll always find a challenge that suits you, whether that's running, cycling, classes or just the amount of activity you do.

A word about MOVEs!
MOVEs are a measure of your daily physical activity. Scientifically, MOVEs are a calculation of activity duration and intensity based on metabolic equivalents (METs). 1 MET is defined as 1kcal/kg/hour, which is roughly equivalent to resting, so the more active you are the more the MOVEs you earn.

Unlike the number of calories burned, MOVE scores are independent of body weight, gender or age; so they are a more effective way of comparing your activity levels to those of your friends - creating a level playing field.

To be active you should aim for 750 MOVEs per day. As a guide to daily activity:
LOW ACTIVE: 0-499 MOVEs
MODERATELY ACTIVE: 500-749 MOVEs
ACTIVE: 750-999 MOVEs
VERY ACTIVE: OVER 1000 MOVEs
