Hi all, dancingj2 has asked me to get the thread started, so here we go again! :wink:

Another Month - Another Challenge!

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.

    Thanks, Lazyspice, for posting this for dancingj2...hope she's feeling okay.

    I'm in again but this time I'm "stepping it up" a bit.

    On the days I bike, I am going to aim for 5000 miles. With a sedentary job that will definitely be a challenge!

    On non-bike days, it will be the usual 10,000 steps.

    Hopefully, this will get me motivated to keep moving!

    The FitBit One and I only averaged 9,353 a day in June, so we are working harder this month! :smile:

    July 1 -- 10407 (and I biked, too! Had half a day off of work and ran some errands)
  • I'll jump in! I have a fitbit too and will easily hit 10k today (I have less than 500 to go and a ton of house work) and will try to keep it up for the rest of the month! I have a couple of heavy driving days where I probably won't hit it, but I'll try my best. I should be able to get it all other days.

    10,000 steps a day. Yesterday, July 1st, 2013, I did 11,500 steps.
  • July 1: 11, 575

    I work late tonight in a job that requires walking through a rather large building multiple times, so no sweat I'll make it today.

    You can count me in too :) I have a Fitbit to track my steps and rarely get 10k in a day. I usually seem to average in the 7k to 8k range so I better starting parking a little farther away in parking lots, taking stairs instead of elevators, and all the good heart healthy ways to get my steps in!

    Didn't quite make 10k steps today but was close at 9065 steps (which for me is really good). I did get in 26 flights of stairs today though :)

    Hi, this is just what I need. I have my fit bit but I've not been making my 10,000 steps for awhile. All kinds of excuses BUT if I have to make an entry here saying done or not done! Hopefully this will be the kick in the butt that I need.

    So, today is July 5th (already) I've got a couple days of driving in there so I'm aiming for 200,000 steps in July.

    Thanks for the post :smile:

    I am pretty consistent with getting in 10000 Mon-Fri. So I am going to set my goals at 12000 Mon-Fri and 10000 Sat and Sun. I would really like to get in 180 miles in July the most I have done is 163 so this will be a good motivator. July 1 14508, July 2 17963
