I just bought myself a fitbit which arrived in the mail today. I am wondering if anyone would be interested in a 10K walking challenge using a pedometer?

    Is that 10000 steps a day regardless of the pace?

    alright....when does everyone want to start? anything we should add that motivates to do the challenge other than the idea of getting 10000 steps?

    I think I can start anytime now that the snowstorm moved through our area, we're getting unburied today. Getting an actual 10000 step count can be pretty challenging. We take walks at breaks, lunch and park at the furthest garage yet I still only get around 6000 to 7000, it's always good to stretch it more.

    I dont know if I can do 10000 a day but I sure want to try. My knee is injurred but this would be perfect for me. I can walk I just cant to running or jumping or anthing intense quite yet.

    I have a pedometer Ill have to pull it out and make sure I know how to use it. So glad I found this post!

    Friday start sounds great. I've been wearing my pedometer for a year its really become a habit feel lost without it. The only problem is since a week or so before X-mas I havent been faithfull with putting the steps on I can usually get 5000 6000 by parking farther going down all the alis at the store
    those kinds of thing but found that I need to take one 20 to 30 min walk or two 10 min walks to make the 10000 and are doable if we just say we are worth it. 10000 a day and we are worth it. Anyway thank you Ameliafaith for the thread.

    This looks like such a cool idea! I am in, will have to get a pedometer though, will join in on monday. I exercise regularly but don't do much walking at work as i am tied to my desk so this will be a great way to find a balance!

    I'm in! I just started using the pedometer this week and would love the challenge of reaching:smile: 10,000 steps.

    I am frustrated... I guess I should have made sure my pedometer was good to go yesterday. Its only about 6 months old but has a few days of use on it and the battery that came with it is all corroded. :( So I will get out to the store today but that means I wont be logging steps till tomorrow. I am so mad at myself!

    I hope you all have a great day today!

    My number is really low but I didnt get my pedomemeter on and working until about 6:30 in the evening so I am happy that I at least got 1266 tracked.

    Hopefully tomorrow I can get at least 10,000!
