The hot and muggy month of August approaches and its time for a new month of stepping!
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.

I will participate. It's easy to do the 10.000 now that it is still a holiday, but I start working again 1st of august.0

Count me in! BTW, what is our highest number of steps in a day? Mine was 17, 856 on a walking tour of Scotland.0

Love to be part of your challenge. Use fitbit and try to get 7500 steps daily. Month of July my highest was on 7/2 - 10,232. Is there a group or do we post in this thread ?0

Hope everyone's counter is clipped on and ready to go!

Great challenge, I'm in.
Highest is 27,455 on 9th May (think I was on holiday walking around pretty much the whole day and went to the gym as well).
I aim for 10,000+ every day, which is generally quite hard as I'm sitting at a desk most of the day! Only done 2800 today so far.0 -
Count me in!!!! I really enjoyed doing this last month and passed my first goal of 200,000 steps and then even passed my next goal of 250.000 steps!! Hope to hit 300,000 this month0

I'm up for the challenge, new to MFP and Fitbit. It always helps motivate me to be part of a group doing something. Do we just post our totals here each day?0

I'm in again! For the last few months my goal was 430 000 steps and I finally hit it in July so I'm upping it for August. This months goal is 500 000.0
