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.

30 days - 310,000 steps. maybe a little ambitious, or maybe not, hard to say with holidays in the mix.
Happy stepping everyone!2 -
Nice, I am in. Have a fitbit to track my steps. Personal goal: 25.000 steps a day.2
-
30 days, 325,000 steps (Oct. total 385,546).1

I'm in! I dont have a fit bit but will track with my phone. My goal is to take 3000 to 6000 steps a day for the first 2 weeks of November, then 6000 to 10,000 a day the last 2 weeks! (I have a job that at times is extremely physical, other times I sit behind a computer all day

I'm in! I have a fitbit, so I'm ready. Out of curiosity, I checked my steps for Oct, and I clocked 341,148, which averages out to 11k steps a day. My (personal) goal is to beat that number.3

I'm in! I will aim for 10k a day (I haven't been consistent with that as of late)3
