Another month, another challenge!

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 here.

Welcome to our Monthly Step Challenge!

    I am just starting out but like the challenge to get me going.
    I bought a cheap step counter which turned out to be worthless. One day it said I did only 350 steps all day, another 5000, and 2 days around 2000. My activity was about the same all days.

    For the short term I am using my iPhone app to count, but would like advice on what device others are using

    My step counter is Omron Model HJ-720ITC I bought it on Amazon :smiley:

    I have an Omron too. I paid less than $20 for it on Amazon and it is easy to use and VERY accurate.

    My goal this month is 300,000 steps.

    I use the Ozeri 4x3razor Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer. I bought it off of Amazon. It is accurate and inexpensive.

    I'm in. I have a Fitbit flex and sad to say have only hit 10,000 steps one time since I have had it. I have been close several times. Going to push myself this month. Thanks for the discussion forum!

    I am in. Last month I started late (October 5th) and did 394,719 steps so my goal for this month is to hit at least 420,000 by the end of November. Hoping Black Friday will give me a ton of steps :)

    I'm in. I have a Fitbit Flex and haven't been able to make 10k in a day yet. So... I am determined to get there and with this challenge I will have at least one 10k day before the end of Nov. I could some Fitbit friends for motivation. I also do challenges on Fi.tt could use some friends there too if anyone is interested let me know and I'll figure out how to add you. (still a relative newbie at these other sites)

    Im in! I got a Fitbit One for my birthday back in September the best gift I have ever received! Always accurate with my steps (even at 5'2 & short strides) I love that it syncs up to myfitnesspal account & best of all.. I downloaded the app & get on the treadmill & watch those steps add up on my smartphone. This will be my first challenge & Im nervous for days that I work at a desk on 10 hour shifts but I will try my very hardest to hit 10k every day?!?! :D
