In support of our President’s call for our nation to heighten collective
efforts in curbing the spread of COVID-19 by staying at home, Discovery
Vitality is adjusting its wellness offering to members to encourage healthier
choices during this 21-day period.

Dinesh Govender, CEO of Discovery Vitality says: “Vitality is a dynamic
behaviour change programme aimed at encouraging people to improve
their health. We’ve therefore redesigned our offering to create Vitality at
home to ensure we can help members stay healthy and get rewarded in a
manner that is relevant in this difficult period.”

How to stay healthy and rewarded with Vitality at home

Staying active

It is very important that everyone stays at home to prevent the spread of
COVID-19. Therefore, the Vitality Active Rewards weekly maximum goal has
been dropped to 300 points for all members, instead of 900. To help people
achieve their goals, Vitality is introducing an online fitness programme with
a daily schedule of high-intensity workouts, yoga, surprise fitness
challenges and more. These will be free to all South Africans and available
at home through the Vitality section on Discovery’s website and social
media channels from Monday, 30 March 2020.

Up to four free specialised fitness training sessions will be shared daily,
including tutorials from Vitality Ambassadors Caster Semenya, Wayde van
Niekerk, Chad le Clos and Lucas Radebe for #fitspiration, along with Virgin
Active’s top instructors. “We have created a daily multi-slot Vitality Home
Workout schedule that can be accessed across our digital channels on
YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram,” he said.

Members can also enjoy discounts on home entertainment through Vitality
Active Rewards with the ability to watch BoxOffice and Netflix movies for
less with Discovery Miles. Sony PlayStation Store and Steam gaming
vouchers have been added as rewards.

Mastering the kitchen

With all meals needing to be prepared at home during the 21 days at home,
it’s important to eat healthily. Vitality members will get double their regular
cash back on HealthyFood at Woolworths or Pick n Pay, which means
Discovery Bank clients will be able to get up to 100% cash back on healthy
food items. Vitality members will also get a free Pick n Pay delivery voucher
to use on their next Pick n Pay online shopping experience. The voucher is
valid until 30 April 2020.

Vitality HealthyFood Studio Executive Chef Dereck Nair will be providing
biweekly online masterclasses and guest celebrity chefs’ cooking demos to
share inspiration for healthy meals that are easy for families to cook
together.

For families and kids

Johno’s eFitness Faculty powered by Vitalityis helping families stay fit with
twice-daily classes. The first is a high-intensity workout at 08:00 for
everyone, and at 14:00 it is just for kids with Jeff.

To ease home schooling, members will have free access to customised
digital learning supportfor grades 4 to 12 from MyTopDog, Vitality’s digital
education partner.

Given the nature of our current context, Vitality has paused all physical
health and fitness checks. However, members can still earn Vitality points
by going online to do their fitness, and nutrition assessments by working
out their Vitality Age and doing an online Vitality Kids Health Review.

Members will also get double their HealthyCare cash backon healthy
essentials from partners Dis-Chem and Clicks.

Members can expect live Facebook Q&A sessions with the Vitality wellness
team – dietician Terry Harris, biokineticist Mari Leach, and Dr Seranne
Motilal – on how to stay healthy and happy at home.

Paying it forward

Vitality members with Vitality Active Rewards can donate their Discovery
Miles to a new Vitality MoveToGive campaign to curb the spread of COVID-
19 in areas without adequate access to sanitation. To donate, members can
select MoveToGive as their reward on the Discovery app. Donations will
help build handwashing stations in South Africa’s informal settlements in
support of UNICEF’s ‘Little Hands Matter initiative’. The Discovery Fund has

committed to match all member donations towards this campaign.
