Jumping June -- Goals Challenge and Photo Scavenger Hunt

Hey, Peeps.  Another month means it's time to sign up for another goals challenge.  More about that below, but just a note that if you happen to see this for the first time mid-month, jump on on in; there is no need to wait for another challenge to start next month.  See what I did there?  "jump right in" , "Jumping June ..." 🙂

                                     

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

 

Picture Scavenger Hunt — 3 pictures

As you may have guessed from the hint in the subject line of this topic, the theme of the photo scavenger hunt this month is to capture something jumping.  Or take a picture while YOU are jumping (pro tip, use a fast shutter speed, LOL).

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.

Jumping June Goals - Day 17

7,500 Steps A Day - 10/22  (I did lower this back to what it was last month as I've had a very hard time pushing just that 500 steps more to the 8,000 I increased it too.  Hopefully next month!)

10,000 Steps - 0/6 

15,000 Steps - 0/2  

Peak Heart Rate +30 - 8/20

Cardio Heart Rate +150 - 16/20

Jumping June Trampoline Time 5+ Minutes - 10/20

Yoga - 5/10  

 

I haven't posted in awhile, but I'm noticing a trend in my fitness routines thanks to all this tracking and reporting!  Apparently I have more sick days at the beginning of the month and less steps in the first 2 weeks of the month.  Then I don't know if I feel better or if I just get determined to do better, but the 2nd half of the month is always stronger.  This has been the case for 4 months straight!

 

I've only made it out kayaking once this month, but I hope to get out doing this more which doesn't reflect well in steps but makes me happier and healthier!

 

Photos of my pup are the best I can do for jumping things.  Sometimes she gets higher of the ground, but it is so hard to capture with a camera.  You can definitely see why we nicknamed her JAWS!
