Frequently Asked Questions

It’s an inspiring journey to better health as you visit 100 national parks, forests, monuments, and other natural wonders in 100 days.

Choose any physical activities you like… whether you’re a thrill seeker or prefer the familiar walk around the neighborhood, Great American Fitness Adventure will help you build a fitness habit to last a lifetime.

Each day your goal is to achieve 30 minutes or more of physical activity. For each day you log 30 minutes of exercise, you earn a virtual park entrance sticker, which moves you along the Great American Fitness Adventure trail. On days when you can’t fit in at least 30 minutes of physical activity, you have 28 “free passes” that give you the chance to still “visit” all locations.

If you face a day when you can’t fit in 30 minutes, don’t worry — you’ll have 28 “free passes” you can choose to continue moving along the trail. Your free passes allow you to miss an average of 2 days a week of exercise and still visit all 100 locations. But remember, once you use up all of your free passes, the only way to continue on the trail is to record 30 minutes of exercise each day.

No. The passes represent the value of an activity — at least 30 minutes of exercise a day — not actual park entrance passes. The free passes are also virtual, symbolizing a missed day of physical activity.

Exercising at least 30 minutes a day is a good goal regardless of your fitness level. A brisk half-hour walk counts as does a ride up a steep mountain bike trail. You don’t have to try something daring and new, but if you want to, there’s plenty to choose from. There are details on everything from archery to yoga, as well as seasonal suggestions and resources for outdoor adventures in every state.   Close
