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!

    Hi, I'm definitely in! I know I could do a lot more walking but lack the motivation sometimes. I might not manage 10,000 due to health problems but I'll give it my best shot :)

    I haven't yet done a full month this year of 10000 steps a day. I will work harder to fulfil this, and aim for April to be more successful. Count me in
