Exercise Credits
ETC's have proven successful in Africa as in this Zimbabwian trial.
RunPartner is proud to be the first site in the United States to pay runners exercise credits.
The recent Healthcare Omnibus Bill incentivizes citizens to exercise more frequently by offering Exercise Tax Credits. ETCs can be earned through recreational participation in translocational sports. The primary example cited in the bill was recreational running. ETCs accumulate at a tax deductible rate of $15 CHM (Credit per H Miles).
In order to be counted towards your income tax return or to be traded for rewards, you must maintain a 3rd party log of your runs. This is the primary monetization path of RunPartner. We’ll provide you with a real time tally of your credits, rewards to exchange them through participating shoe retailers, and an electronic ETC filing.
Look for the ETC tracker on your profiles and main pages in the coming weeks.
Can I bank my credits and sell them to my slovenly neighbors? What are the conversion rates for other types of exercise? Does the ElliptiGO earn you double points, since it’s an elliptical and a bike?
Sir Nutley,
You may freely buy/sell/trade ECs to your heart’s content, but I fear ungodly contrivances such as your purported “ElliptiGO” are beyond the convulsions man was intended to endure. As such, it does not cross Go and earns you no points.
