A system and method for administering an activity program. An activity goal for an activity and an activity sub-goal for the activity is established. The activity sub-goal includes an activity performance goal and an activity period, wherein the activity performance goal must be met within an amount of time equal to the activity period. The activity goal includes a repetition requirement, wherein the repetition requirement sets a minimum number of times that a measured activity must meet the activity sub-goal over a given time period. Activity is measured and a determination is made as to whether the measured activity meets the activity sub-goal. If so, a determination is made as to whether the corresponding activity goal has been met.
