The NestEgg Level System
Every Egg in a NestEgg challenge is assigned a Level, which determines your weekly target for Exercise Points (EP). There are 15 Levels, starting at Level 1 (Beginner) and progressing all the way to Level 15 (Elite).
As your fitness improves and you complete challenges, you can level up—though your targets will increase too.
For example:
- A Level 1 Egg has a weekly EP target of 150 points.
- A Level 7 Egg has a target of 600 points.
This means the Level 7 Egg must do four times more exercise than the Level 1 Egg to earn the same NestEgg Score of 100%.
This structure mirrors systems like golf handicaps—designed to reward relative achievement, not just absolute achievement.
How the NestEgg Score Is Calculated
Your NestEgg Score tells you how close you are to hitting your weekly target. It is calculated as:
NestEgg Score = (Exercise Points / Weekly Target) × 100
You earn a score after every workout, and a total score for the week. Your Level at the start of the week determines the Weekly Target used in that calculation.
How Promotions Work
If you exceed the Weekly Target of a higher Level than your current one, you’ll be promoted to that Level at the end of the current week. You will therefore have a new Weekly EP Target for the following week.
Example: Level Progression in Action
Let’s take an Egg who starts the challenge at Level 1. Here’s what happens over two weeks:
Week 1:
- Started at Level 1
- Earned 734 Exercise Points
- Surpassed the Level 7 threshold of 600 points
- Result: Promoted to Level 7 for Week 2
Week 2:
- Now at Level 7 (weekly target = 600 EP)
- Earned the same number of points (734), but now:
- Each workout scores less because the target is higher
- Did not reach the Level 8 target of 750 EP, so stays at Level 7
This example shows how the system adjusts to your progress, pushing you forward while keeping the game fair and balanced for everyone.
Why It Works
The NestEgg Scoring and Level System is designed to:
- Make progress visible and measurable
- Allow fair competition across all fitness levels
- Encourage you to focus on your own journey
- Reward both consistency and improvement
Whether you're walking, lifting, running, or spinning, your effort counts. And as you improve, your NestEgg Level rises with you.
