Do I need the free HPB tracker for Healthy 365?
No. Many third-party watches and apps sync MVPA and steps if paired correctly. The HPB tracker is the simplest path, not the only one.
How does the National Steps Challenge work in 2026?
The game shifted from pure step counts toward MVPA, sleep and tiered rewards. Our 2026 guide explains tiers, expiry and the best redemption routes.
Can I use my Apple Watch or Garmin with Healthy 365?
Often yes, with pairing and sync rules that confuse almost everyone. The HPB fitness tracker guide walks through collect, exchange, pair and sync.
Are 10,000 steps a day still the target?
They help, but the evidence supports a dose response below 10,000 for many health outcomes. HPB now rewards MVPA and sleep, not steps alone.
What rewards are worth chasing on Healthy 365?
Depends on your redemption habits and expiry discipline. Our watchlist tracks programme changes and which vouchers actually beat retail prices.
