The 10,000 steps challenge is another 30-Day challenge, but this challenges you to walk 10,000 steps per day. This doesn’t mean you have to start walking 10,000 steps on your first day. That’s about 5 miles of walking in a day. This 30-Day challenge is organized to progressively increase your reps so that your physical ability is continuously improving. You should start with a number that suits your current lifestyle: • 4,000 steps per day if you’re someone who spends a lot of time sitting down throughout the day. • 6,000 steps per day if you spend about 5-6 hours a day sitting down. • 8,000 steps per day if you have an active lifestyle. • 10,000 steps per day if you have a very active lifestyle. The steps challenge is mostly catered to people who are looking to improve their lifestyle with the simple act of walking. Most participants start with 4,000 steps per day. Recording their progress helps them realize how much time they actually spend sitting down versus walking and being active. Start small with 4,000 steps a day for 2-3 days. Then on the fourth day, increase the number to 5,000. You can stay on this 5,000-mark for another day or increase your steps by the one thousand after each day. Here’s how your first week of the steps challenge may look: • Day 1: 4,000 steps • Day 2: 4,000 steps • Day 3: 5,000 steps • Day 4: 6,000 steps • Day 5: 6,000 steps • Day 6: 7,000 steps • Day 7: 8,000 stepsHelpful Tip: It helps to have a wearable smart watch or fitness tracker for this challenge, so you don’t always have to carry your phone around. There are several inexpensive fitness trackers on Amazon that work as well as the more expensive alternatives.
