Walk and earn. But let's immediately clear the field of misunderstandings: with WeWard you don't get rich. On the other hand, it has an extra stimulus to walk. The seven million users who have downloaded the application to their smartphone (free from both the App Store and Google Play) and use it are well aware of it: step by step, with WeWard you accumulate points (Ward) simply by walking. In return, thanks to an increasingly vast network of sportswear brands, fitness equipment, electronics, perfumeries, supplements and more, the app allows you to accumulate vouchers that can be spent in online stores of participating brands or to convert them into euros.
Fighting a sedentary lifestyle
The strengths of the app
«WeWard is different from other pedometer programs because allows you to convert the accumulated points into euros, receiving a transfer with "real" money. It is within everyone's reach because it is based on the simple walk that everyone can do on a daily basis and not on running, for example », explains the fit coach.
It's simple to use and does not drain the battery because it connects automatically to App Salute or Google Fit, depending on the operating system of your smartphone. Precisely for this reason I have recommended it to people who do activities, but not only. For example, it has also served as a stimulus for non-athletes who, thanks to the app, walk more, perhaps leaving the car stationary, with benefits for health and the environment. Without forgetting the factor of sharing, which increases motivation by challenging each other. I recommend it because it is one of the most innovative and easy to use among fitness apps», continues Federica Toninelli.
How to best use it
"Very important validate steps at the end of the dayotherwise they are not counted and at midnight the pedometer is reset for the following day. Maybe you can put an alarm on your smartphone or use the app's alert notification," clarifies the instructor.
«You can also earn points by introducing a friend who signs up with your code, assigned automatically, and you both earn. Furthermore, thanks to geolocation, you can follow the recommended routes between local attractions and get bonuses. Or again, complete challenges to get additional points, such as completing 3.000 steps within a certain time or validating them on a certain day. This way you go up to the next levels and earn more points. You can then answer the surveys and watch the proposed promotional videos».
You are also rewarded by launching challenges to registered friends.
The weak points
Isn't there, therefore, not even a criticism that can be leveled against WeWord? “The fact of having to always keep your smartphone close at hand or in your pocket it's not that comfortable. Just think, for example, of the steps taken when cleaning the house, which are lost if you don't have your phone on you. If there was the possibility to tune the application to a pedometer bracelet, for example, that would be great. Furthermore, the app allows you to earn points by reaching thresholds that are not so close together, it would be better to have intermediate stages», observes Federica Toninelli.
More tips to move more
The app is certainly useful, but there are other strategies for keeping fit as well. "I recommend anticipate the alarm clock in the morning, to exercise and start the day with more energy and a better mood, thanks to the endorphins released. It is also useful to take the stairs instead of taking the elevator or to take a walk during your lunch break. Sure, you can join the gym, but just put on some music and dance at home to get the benefits. It's all small habits that make the difference», says the fit coach. And health benefits!

Let's do two accounts
How much do you earn with WeWard? You begin to accumulate points starting from the minimum threshold of 1500 steps (which will then be transformed into euros).
3000 steps: 3 points
10.000 steps: 10 points
15.000 steps: 15 points
20.000 steps: 25 points
(5000 points bonus, maximum daily threshold)
With 3000 points you get €15, up to a maximum of €60 with 12 points (when you reach these numbers, you get the transfers). An example: if you take 3000 steps a day, you earn 3 points a day (so it will take a thousand days to reach 3000 points/€15). If, on the other hand, you take 20 steps a day, you earn 25 points (so it will take 120 days to reach 3000 points/€15). And then there are the points you earn for the various bonuses, challenges and missions.
