It’s a LEAP YEAR! You get one extra day this month to walk, run, and LEAP to your goals — especially important if it’s already time to reset your January resolutions.
How It Works
The primary purpose of these monthly challenges is 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
Picture Scavenger Hunt — 3 pictures
Three ideas for your three pics this month: 1. It’s a leap year, so any picture with number 29, or someone or something LEAPING. 2. Valentine day on the 14th, so pictures with RED or Valentine’s references. 3. Wildflowers. They may be a bit rare this time of year in the northern hemisphere, but they make great pictures against wet/muddy/snowy backgrounds. Should be a lot of opportunities to score some good scavenger hunt pics so even if you can find one of each, feel free to post more than three over the month.
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.
