Need motivation to get your daily steps in?

This is a monthly challenge to get your steps in. Our main goal is to keep activate every day!

It's easy to join - You set what your daily/monthly step count is. You can also jump in anytime during the month, too.

You will need a step counter, i.e., FitBit, Apple Watch, Garmin or whatever other tracker you use, to keep track of your steps and then post your results daily here.

FYI: This group was formerly known as "Monthly Step Challenge."

Let's Get Stepping!

    My goal is 7000 steps a day, as I have a sedentary job.

    Lately I have been going to the gym so have been able to get more steps in.

    Fell off the wagon from walking 10000 a day at the end of the year so I’m getting back at it.

    I used to get on average 15000 steps a day however, due to some changes in the past year (including getting a desk job) that is no longer possible most days. Rather than setting a goal I know I won’t meet most days, I’ve decided to make it a monthly goal to get the same number of steps but spread out over the month.

    January Goal: 465000 Steps
    15000 Steps x 31 Days

    1st: 4424
    2nd: 6518
    3rd: 6590
    4th: 4342
    5th: 3507

    January Steps Taken: 25381

    Sorry I've been AWOL. The work situation that had been causing me so much stress the past 2 weeks has finally been relieved, and I'm so happy! I really love my job...in fact, yesterday I had my 30-year work anniversary.

    Working at a desk all day makes it hard to get any steps in but I'm determined to try and get 10,000+ a day. It's never to late to start! You can do anything you put your mind to! 👍
