July Daily Step Challenge

dancingj2

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've been doing around 10,000 steps since buying a pedometer last week so will enter my progress here too. Will do my best.

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.

Lazyspice - you did great beating your goal last month.

Thanks, I was quite chuffed with myself

I've decided on my target for July - going for 400,000 steps, which is a daily average of 12903.

June average was 12192 and May was 10345, so it should be doable.

I love this challenge - I like having longer term goals - thank you for keeping it going :flowerforyou:

My oldest is finally on the mend. She woke up this morning perky. How she can be perky in the morning with her two parents I will never know, but oh well.

My middle kiddo has been fighting this case of tonsillitis for over 2 weeks now. I may end up taking her back to emergency and seeing what can be done about it.

Okay this months goal is 10,000 steps a day. I may go with a more advanced goal after I can do this for a couple of months or so.

7/01 - 10377 steps taken

Total Steps - 10377
