Another month, another challenge!

Our 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.

Welcome to our Monthly Step Challenge!

    I'm in again! With the weather getting cooler and the outdoor bicycling season winding down, I plan to incorporate more walking in to my routine, so, hopefully, my step count will work its way back up again.

    :bigsmile: The poodles and I have already added over 2700 steps to the pedometer this morning and we're headed out for another walk soon.

    :drinker: :flowerforyou: my goal for October is to exceed 18,000 steps each day.

    Well, it depends on your stride length. Mine is 24 inches. So for me 10,000 steps is almost 4 miles. 5280 feet is one mile.
    So, on average 10,000 steps in 5 miles for most people. For me, I have a very short stride so it is less.

    I'm in. I'm also doing the running challenge, but my "rest" days seem to be getting a lot of rest in them. :)

    <Just wondering, if i were to walk 10000 steps on a treadmill, how long will it take me? please don't laugh>

    I would guess about 1 hour and 15 minutes, which sounds like a long time. Walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes or 45 minutes per day will certainly increase your step count and would add to what you do all day long.

    Yay for motivation. I want to beat my average for September so October's average will be (I hope) 18,000 or more. Needless to say, I'm in.
