Week 1 - Challenge 1

Hey everyone! So I hope you've had a great New Year's Eve! As promised we start today! Challenges will usually be set every week and day!! :)

Challenge 1
Walk at least 1000 steps a day using a pedometer. If you don't have one of these, download an app for iPod and iPhone or if you don't have them make it your job to try and get one or order one! They are found very cheaply in stores, ect!

Daily challenge
Do 30 star jumps today


I hope these are suitable for you! If your unable to do it don't worry! It's just for fun + motivation



Happy New Year! Lets lose those pounds! ;)

  • Going to go take DS to the park in a while. Might take him to the bigger one on the other side of the lake (about 30 min walk ). Will let you know how many steps I do. Hopefully can make it that far lol.

    As for the star jumps. Not sure when I last done them but hubby said he will do them with me. Giggles here they come :-)

    Happy New Year to you too x

    I tried to download a pedometer the other day but it didn't count any of the steps i took around the house. What app do you use on your iphone? Will it work just sitting in your pocket? I'm sure I take 1000 steps a day but I would like to count and see!

    I like the daily challenge idea too! :) did them!

    I use striiv and it counts your step in your pocket. It doesn't properly sync wih MFP so you'll have to manually insert it. It tells you the amount of steps and calories burnt. It gives you mini challenges like if you can reach 100 steps in 10mins. :) x

    At least you'll have fun doing them! Even 10 will be fine, haha!
  • I'm from the park (Yes I played on the swing and went down the slide(with my son of course)).

    According to my pedometer I did 5925 steps. I'm shocked. It's a really good pedometer and won't count a step if you jump like so many.

    I have to say I'm very proud of myself.

    Keepp up the good work everyone. Together we will reach our goals with a huge smile at the end : )
