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.

    Great idea. I'm doing the Global Corporate Challenge with work, it certainly brings out the competitveness in you. I'll aim to remember to log my daily steps here as well.

    I'll be back for sure. I just signed up to walk a marathon in February. For the next seven months I'll be working on building up endurance and speed.

    Seeing your post reminds me that I still haven't taken a look at the freebie (low quality, I think) pedometer I got a long time ago to put it to use! Maybe I will finally figure out how to use it and be ready in time for your August Step Challenge! ;)

    I am going to try this month. Not sure how successful I will be though. The kids are on school holidays for 2 weeks. Normally I would just drag them on walks with me, but they are all sick at the moment. I will try to walk around the house and all if I have to though.
