1. A system for tracking physical activity, comprising:
- at least one computing system comprising at least a processor and a memory;
a user interface resident on the at least one computing system accessible over a computer network responsive to an instruction to said user interface indicated by the processor, wherein at least two participants are each assigned at least one identification code associated with at least one challenge as indicated to said user interface by at least one administrator;
at least one portable monitoring unit associated with each of the assigned identification codes in at least the memory of the computing system; and
at least one remote transceiver communicatively optionally coupled to at least one portable monitoring unit and couple to the at least one computing system over the computer network;
wherein information from the at least one portable monitoring unit is correlated with at least one challenge and is thereby indicative of a performance of the participant having the assigned identification code of the portable monitoring unit correspondent to the information in the challenge.

Abstract
A system and method of tracking physical activity of a person in order to help motivate that person to add more exercise to their lives. Each participant is provided a motion sensor that detects forces incurred by the participant. The motion sensor creates electronic data that corresponds to the forces detected. The data is analyzed to determine whether or not exercise has been performed. The analysis can also determine the type of exercise performed, when the exercise was performed, and the duration of the exercise performed.
