Its the middle of summer or winter depending on where you are - either way a great time to step into another monthly challenge! Brave the weather out doors, hit the treadmill or take the long way to the cafeteria!

Our 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.

Welcome to our Monthly Step Challenge!
