Make meaningful life changes with HealthMonth to unlock badges

Last week, we introduced a way to unlock badges without checking in – through completing workouts with RunKeeper. The reason: we want foursquare to help people live better and healthier lives. On that note, welcome to our second badge partner: HealthMonth.

HealthMonth, from Buster Benson, helps people set goals and then realize them – anything from eating habits to meditation to exercise. So if you want to cut down your weekly red meat consumption, or increase your bike riding, HealthMonth helps you do that. By making it all fun and connecting your goals to your friends and its leaderboard, HealthMonth helps you increase the chances of actually making meaningful changes in your life. And now, you can unlock foursquare badges while making those improvements.

Since today is October 1st, you still have time to head over to HealthMonth to sign up and set your goals for the month of October. When you choose your targets, you’ll be placed in a bracket based on how challenging they are. If you reach those goals at the end of the month, you will earn the special badge for that bracket. There is a badge for each of the four levels of difficulty, so try and collect all four.

Hope you enjoy it. And if you’re an app that would like to be a third-party badge partner, let us know.
