As an incentive for encouraging participation into the program, the member is rewarded with cumulative and goal-oriented points or units. These recognize activities which are aerobic in nature and therefore must be performed for a required length of time. The variety of aerobic activities are extensive and participation in one or more activities is encouraged.

In order to qualify for a seal within any level of the CF Physical Fitness Award for Aerobic Excellence a member of the CF must:

• Participate in aerobic type of activity
• Must log at least 2000 units worth of aerobic activity participation within a two year period in order to qualify for any given seal
• Earn qualifying units based on the distance covered in the specific activity. In cases where it is impossible to measure the distance due to the environment or equipment the noted time may be used in its place
• Complete at least one full unit value per aerobic exercise sessions
• Accumulate units in activities listed as per table below which gives a detailed list of acceptable activities, performance standards and their unit value. Also, CF members may engage in one or any combination of individually selected activities, formal fitness training and/or compulsory fitness program activities
