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!

    I'm in again, too. My goal last month was 285,000 steps (so 9,500 a day). I easily went beyond that, so my goal for this month is 300,000 steps. It could be higher, but I want to see how I do when the weather gets nastier and take it slow.

    I'm taking the challenge for October with you all! Mid October we are planning to move to another country, so I am thankful for this Step Challenge to keep me motivated and gives me a place to be accountable to keep up with my walking. I walk inside when the weather gets bad, but I know at first the one room rental will be a small space. I'm pretty resolved to keep up my steps though as the re adjustment to new foods can mean its better to have those extra calories than a sedentary state!

    October first I walked 31,212 steps.

    Happy steps everyone. :smile:
