The Importance of Fitness
Sons of Norway recognizes the importance of healthful activities not just to prolong your life, but to improve the very quality of your life. This Sports Medal Program, which originated in Norway, will improve your attitude as well as your physical well-being.

Something for Everyone
No matter how young or old you are, and no matter what your present physical condition, the Sports Medal Program offers a fitness plan for you. With doctor's advice, you can determine the appropriate level. Then you are assigned point or mileage requirements for medal qualifications that are within your reach. The program is great because you don't need to be a natural athlete - the only one you are really competing with is yourself.

MANY ACTIVITIES WILL QUALIFY YOU!!!
Your ski exercise machine will count towards skiing, your treadmill will count towards walking, your exercise bicycle will count towards biking.  Much of what you do at your health club can count towards your sports and fitness medal.  The important thing is that your are doing these healthful activities.

Different Levels, Different Medals
As you reach each objective, you will be awarded different grades of sports medals. Begin in pursuit of the Bronze, then work yourself up to Silver, Gold, and eventually Enamel. Set your own pace - your program can be for just one medal or all sixteen!
Whether you are interested in walking, biking, skiing, or general sports,
