At work I have started a challenge to walk 70,000 steps per week in the month of August. There is a few of us taken up the challenge.
Maybe some of you could motivate your own staff to also do something similar
The challenge is to complete 70,000 steps each week for the month of August. This is 10,000 steps per day. Your goal is to get to 10,000 steps each day or make up the shortfall on another day but complete 70,000 steps for each week of August
All you need is a pedometer or fitbit to record your steps for the day from the time you get up till the end of your day.
This is how it will work in our workplace……
The challenge starts on the 1st of August and ends on 28th of August.
Week 1, 1st – 7th
Email your total after the 7th
Week 2, 8th – 14th
Email your total after the 14th
Week 3, 15th – 21st
Email your total after the 21st
Week 4, 22nd – 28th
Email your total after the 28th
It doesn’t matter how you achieve your steps – running or walking, the main thing is to reach the goal of 70,000 steps per week of August.
I plan to publish each week our progress on our work noticeboard. Alias or fun nicknames encouraged!
Give it a go! Get it going in your workplace too........

Hi,
My name is Naomi and I'm brand new at these forums (this is my first post!). I am very keen to participate in your challenge. It is such a great idea!
Little bit about myself: I have been using mfp for a while now off and on, but would like to be more committed. In 2010 I weighed in at 102kg and then successfully lost down to 72kgs. Now am sitting at an unhappy 82kgs and would really like to move some of this! I'm from Wellington and work fulltime in a desk job so don't get out and about as much as I should...
Any idea of where I can get a pedometer from?
Thanks :-)0 -
Hi Naomi, welcome to our group (and well done on your weight loss so far!).
Pedometers can be bought at Rebel Sports, and I assume many other places (chemists maybe??). Anyone else help here?0
