Jumping June 2022 Step Challenge and Photo Scavenger Hunt

[Baltoscott]

Holy Moly it’s nearly JUNE, and the last month of the first half of 2022! Wow!

That means it is time to get a jump on the rest of the year. You can still jump, right?  Jump to the head of the line? Jump on the bed? Jump over the dog, or over a crack - so you don’t break your mother’s back? 

   
How It Works:

The primary purpose of these monthly challenges has been to keep track of 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

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.

Picture Scavenger Hunt — 3 pictures 

The theme of the photo scavenger hunt is JUMPING. Anything that shows some action with feet off the ground (jumping dogs, kids, you, a bird …. ). Aren't birds supposed to fly instead of jump?

Open your wings, you fool!!!

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.

@Baltoscott  Thanks for the head's up!

I may be a bit lower this week in steps.  I made poor footwear choices last weekend, and I now have a bruise on the bottom of my foot.

Yay, I hit my bike mileage goal with a day to spare.  Good thing, as I'm behind on the rest of my goals. Oh well.

Hey @johnmore456 Great to see you'll be joining the July Challenge. Make sure you post your goals over there and start posting to that thread starting Friday (July 1). Just follow the link or look for it at the top of the Get Moving Board.  I still have to get my goals posted!  @4DB -- I'm glad you are having fun with these.  And yes, we only need to compete against ourselves. It's all about improvement or maintenance or whatnot.

It has been very challenging to meet my goals. I have met 5k a couple of days this month. I may have to lower the goal. I think my new goal will be 4K daily Mon-Fri for the month of July.
