FYI July 2020 — Step Challenge and Photo Scavenger Hunt

[Baltoscott]

Just a little For Your Information that we are halfway through 2020, and it is time to sign up for another monthly challenge. And a reminder that if you happen to see this for the first time mid-month, jump on in; there is no need to wait for another challenge to start next month.

How It Works

The primary purpose of these monthly challenges is to encourage you to set and hit your daily step goals for the month; though many of us track other things as well, like body weight exercises, sleep, trips to the gym, logging food, etc. This is not a competition to see who can do the most of whatever, instead it is a challenge to measure your consistency. So whether you do 1k, 5k, 10k or even 40k steps a day, this is measuring how many days out of the monthly total you can hit your goal.

Some might have a constant goal of 10k steps every single day and others might have a variable goal throughout the week, (and some might even plan days off!) for example.
Monday -> Friday = 10k steps a day
Sat & Sun = “6k steps a day,” or “not tracking”

Regardless of how you structure your daily goals, the only thing that matters for the monthly challenge is whether or not you reach what you set out to do.

Suggested Posting Format    
1) Post either your constant or variable step goal.
2) Keep track of the # of daily goals achieved out of the monthly minimum and or monthly total

6 FeetIt's nice to go to the gym when you are one of 20 ...

The theme this month is COVID-19 Related.  Is your area opening up? Or shutting back down?  What does that look like. In the US we are seeing spikes in the South and West and downward trends in the Northeast.  But that will probably change as ‘opening up’ seems to put the brakes on ‘downward trend.’

Posting

Although you certainly don’t have to post daily, you’ll likely stay closer to what you set out to do by updating the thread several times/week

Injury Notice
If you injure yourself during the month and need to scale back due to the injury, then all you have to do is adjust your goal for that period. If you normally do 10k steps a day but pull a hamstring and decide to do minimal walking (2k steps a day), then all you have to do is change your goal.

Hello everyone!  I'm still in limbo with my health. Had the Angiogram on the 22nd, thankfully they did not find anything worth a stint. They did find that I'd gone back into Afib. Tomorrow I have an appointment with another cardiologist who specializes in ablations. 

Until I come up with a more permanent fix I'll stick to my goals of 8,000 steps per day and attempt to get at least 12 of 14 hours active with a minimum of 250 steps per hour.

@benvegiI hope you get some answers soon! Keep us posted!

My area was opening up. But its shutting back down again. Soon as bars opened a lot of people went and a lot picked up the virus. I dont think the bars handled it correctly.

What a rough start to the month.  It's been raining almost non-stop this week.  Yesterday, I got caught out in it.  Woke to morning rain.  Hopefully I can get outside for some steps at lunch!

I forgot to take a Selfie of me in my mask at the hairdressers today. Oh well, there’ll be other chances as restrictions are tightening again ... unfortunately. 

My Charge 3 has been acting really screwy today, constantly being booted from my new iPhone, and resetting to 2,300 steps.But in my step challenge it was keeping track. Weirdness.

Thinking of you today @benvegi.
