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 am in...used to get easily that many steps a day. This brutally cold winter has really lowered my step count and I need motivation to get it back up.

    I'm just getting back into the swing of things after being inactive for almost a year. I need this to get and keep me motivated. It's the treadmill until we have better cooperation from the weather.

    I’m in. But I’ve got to start lower than 10,000. I’ve got plantar fascia in my right foot. So, let’s say 6,000. And maybe I can raise that during the month. Thanks for doing this!!!

    Daily, weekly or whenever. I try to post at least every few days, so I don't have so much to log. I add comments with mine, including my "exercise" so I know how my day went.
