Everything You Need to Know About Voom's Makeover
You￢ﾀﾙve heard the exciting news￢ﾀﾔthat Voom is getting a makeover￢ﾀﾔbut what exactly does this mean for you? Here￢ﾀﾙs a quick overview of all of the important things you should know in order to get the most out of your Voom experience.
Signing In
When you first sign in, you￢ﾀﾙll be prompted to set your settings, take a Health Assessment, and launch Voom. If you￢ﾀﾙre already using Voom for PC/Mac or Voom for Web, just click continue to browser. Be sure to answer your Health Assessment as accurately as possible, as you￢ﾀﾙll be using it as weeks progress to track how you￢ﾀﾙre feeling.
Your Dashboard
Next, you￢ﾀﾙll be directed to the Dashboard where there are several new measures of your usage. You￢ﾀﾙll be able to check out how many active minutes you￢ﾀﾙve accumulated, how many breaks you￢ﾀﾙve taken, and how close you are to reaching the optimal goal number of 6 breaks a day. You can also check out what your Health Score is (a measure tabulated from the answers you give on your new ￢ﾀﾜHealth Assessments￢ﾀﾝ and how much you use Voom), as well as what badges you￢ﾀﾙve earned and where you stand on your network￢ﾀﾙs leaderboard. Your profile has some additional stats too, like the best Voom day you￢ﾀﾙve ever had. Try to beat it!

Notifications
In your top level navigation, you￢ﾀﾙll be receiving notifications every time Voom posts a blog. We work really hard to keep our blog full of interesting and useful health information. By reading the blogs and keeping up with our healthy reporting, you￢ﾀﾙll be able to enhance your experience, and your health, that much more. Read a blog, or three, and earn more points and badges! (This Notification icon is also where you￢ﾀﾙll see any new badges that you earn and where you￢ﾀﾙll be prompted to take your weekly Health Assessments. So be sure to pay attention if a message awaits.)
Settings
The Settings icon at the top level navigation will bring you to the page where you can control any of your personal options including enabling or disabling certain videos, purchasing, renewing, or canceling your subscription, and setting the timer for your reminders!
Your Voom "Work-Outs"
The next thing you may notice is the new way we￢ﾀﾙve titled the video breaks. We want you to know WHY we￢ﾀﾙve included each of the kinds of exercises that appear in Voom. It￢ﾀﾙs not only about back pain relief or getting more movement throughout the day. Stretch It Out, Tone It Up, Take A Breath￢ﾀﾔeach of these ￢ﾀﾜWork-Outs￢ﾀﾝ was designed for the many benefits they provide in short two minute intervals at your desk. We￢ﾀﾙre currently hard at work on two new ￢ﾀﾜWork-Outs￢ﾀﾝ too, so keep your eye out for new fitness focused and yoga-inspired exercises coming from two of our newest experts.
Explore a Little
If you so choose, this new update doesn￢ﾀﾙt have to change your relationship with Voom. You can still get your reminders and take your breaks without focusing on all the bells and whistles. However, if you have a few minutes, we really suggest you get involved with what￢ﾀﾙs happening on your Dashboard. The techniques we￢ﾀﾙre using to present you with data, track your progress, reward your successes, and foster some friendly competition are all known and proven to increase people￢ﾀﾙs use of health and fitness programs, and in turn get you healthier!
