Destination & Leisure Management challenges you to work up a sweat and see how many calories you can burn for the chance to win great prizes. The competition runs for a week, from 6am on 27 June to 4.30pm on 4 July.
We want the department to stay engaged, even if we are physically apart, so we’ve decided to run a competition to encourage everyone to stay fit and healthy. Over the course of this challenge, we'll be adding up the total amount of calories you burn.
You can choose to burn calories however you want and whatever exercise or workout you prefer. Just make sure to record your achievements either through Strava, Fitbit or a smartwatch that calculates calories. If you don’t have a smartwatch, you can use any cardio exercise machine in your home. Just take a picture each day showing the amount of calories you burned and upload online. More details can be found in “How to log an activity” section
Winners will also be featured in internal communications across Etihad, so warm up and get ready!
Please note this challenge is only open for Destination & Leisure Management staff

How to log an activity
Strava, Fitbit or Garmin connection: If you choose to automatically sync your results, once you've registered and connected your chosen device, please record your workout how you usually would. Once saved, your workout will be automatically synced and will be added to the leaderboard. Please ensure your Strava activity visibility is set to "everyone" (your profile can still remain private). Any other visibility will not be counted towards the leaderboard.
Manual submission: If you choose to upload your results manually, there is a manual submission tab labelled 'submit manual results' found above recent attempts. This is visible once registered for the event. Please submit your results along with image proof, date and calories burnt of your workout to log any attempts towards the event.
To note:
Please record a workout and submit calories burnt, daily calories will not be counted.
Calorie calculations are estimates only. Differing applications and watches use varying algorithms to estimate calories.
Recording your activity other than a run, cycle or walk through Strava only may not calculate calories. We suggest you use a smart or sports watch.
There is a wide range of different algorithms and inputs that can be used to estimate Calories which may cause changes when syncing activities recorded on a smart or sports watch with Strava.
If you have doubts about calories recorded, we recommend contacting the 3rd party for specifics on what data they use to estimate Calories.

What are time challenges?
Time challenges provide a way to register for and complete a real-world course at a convenient time. By pairing your Strava account you can record your time over the selected course using a mobile phone or connected wearable device. Once the activity has been completed you will be added to the leaderboard and will have the opportunity to attempt the course as many times as you like during the event dates to improve your position.
What are challenges?
Similar to time challenges, inphota challenges allow for completion of an activity without the need for a real-world course, or a pre-arranged gathering.

You have the opportunity to attempt the challenge as many times as you like during the challenge period to improve your position.
Prizes and rewards will be fulfilled upon completion of the challenge.
When will I appear?
Our leaderboards for this challenge show the best efforts by people who have registered for this contest, and completed a qualifying activity using their wearable device. For time challenges this must be a device which uploads to Strava, otherwise a Fitbit device.
To be considered for the leaderboard you have to follow several steps:
- Sign up for the contest that you're interested in
- Connect your Fitbit or Strava account to your inphota account so that we know when you attempt the challenge
- Complete a qualifying activity (as many time as you like!)
- Upload your workout
That's it! Just use your Fitbit or Strava account as you normally would, and we will automatically download the activity and put you on the leaderboard. Please note that this process can take up to an hour after you complete the upload.
If you're having problems, or you've done an effort that isn't appearing after this time, then please get in touch with our in-site chat system.
