Final month of the year! As the days to Christmas dwindle down we can count all those steps as we run around getting ready!

Challenge is to do 10,000 steps in a day. You can do this for any one day or try for the entire month. Jump right in at any time! You can set a lower or higher goal if you wish. Our main goal is to keep activate every day!

It's easy to join - Just post here to begin!

You will need a step counter to keep track of your steps and then post your results daily here.

    :flowerforyou: I have been absent from this challenge for a long time......last month I fell and injured my back and had to slow down on my walking.....I'm just getting back on track----nothing like the 28,000 steps a day I'd been doing and I want to celebrate my return to the land of active people....:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I'm in again.
    I had to push myself at the end of November to break 500,000 steps, but I did it.

    Love this Challenge :flowerforyou:

    I'm going to give it a go. 10,000 has been a tall order for me int he past, so to do it for each day will be a real test!

    I use a Fitbit now but before that I had an Omron pedometer that was very good - I bought mine on Amazon.

    :brokenheart: at the end of October I fell and injured my back----with the help of the chiropractor, I'm healing and moving more each day but still not back to my old activity level.

    My fav is New Balance Via Slim. It is small and seems to count all of my steps. My back up is an old, inexpensive clunky sportline from Walmart that does ok but it is large.
