    New month, new 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 can also jump in anytime during the month, too.

    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!

      Don't wait, start today! Every step counts, whether you're grocery shopping or walking to the post box, count 'em! Lots and lots of free phone apps out there count every step you take. I like google fit.

      Definitely in! I’m usually between 10-12,000 steps per day, but I’m at 17,000 already because my job entailed a lot of walking today.

      I'm in. I'm going for 2000 steps a day to start. I have bronchitis right now, but once the meds kick in I plan on 5000 a day! Hopefully I can increase that before the month ends, but one day at a time
