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!

    The Fat2Fit challenge / support group has been a great bonus to my Step Challenge efforts for the past month. I would encourage people to take a look and participate in both for support /accountability / motivation / just plain fun. The first link is to the main page which explains how the challenge works, and the second is to the registration page. We are hoping you will become one of our new members.

    Great way to keep moving ~ count me in too! I've just getting back into "moving" so I'm keeping my starting goal attainable (crossing my fingers!) to 8,500-10,000 a day.

    Hi - I have a mobility problem and often need a walking stick. So I am aiming for 8,000 steps per day. But if I am under it's usually because of the pain, so I don't push myself too hard. I think 8,000 per day is doable and would like to start tracking it here.

    Something to aim to beat ... my May Monthly Total: 329,374 May was also the first time I did this Step Challenge. Some of you will have been at it for longer than that. If you have done this challenge in previous months, what's your "best month to beat"?
