Which Activity Counts?

It's entirely up to you what you want to count. For those using pedometers perhaps this month include all activity and next month just exercise activity? It's not about challenging others, it's about challenging yourself. Seeing how well others are doing just helps provide motivation. Essentially, it's up to you!

Good luck everyone!

    Thanks for clarifying! I count my steps everyday but for this challenge I have decided to only count actual, intentional "workouts" that I log on MapMyWalk. Some will be walks or hikes, and others will be jogging, since I am training for a 5k. I think doing it this way will motivate me to schedule more time to walk and stick to it. Excited to get started and can't wait to see everyone's progress!

    Awesome, I will count my Leslie Sansone Walking DVD's and my curling. Can't go outside -45 Celsius today with the wind chill. Thank you for the challenge - I had set a pretty wimpy goal for March!

    Perhaps you want to walk minutes rather than miles? May be set yourself a goal of an hour a day for thirty days for example, so that your exercise ticker (if you use one) will read a goal of 30 hours. Or whatever will be challenging to you. It's not really about the mileage, just about setting a goal that will push us to walk further.
