March Madness 2022 — Step Challenge and Photo Scavenger Hunt

We are well into 2022 now and the seasons will change this month. March 20 will be the Spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumn equinox in the Southern hemisphere. It’ll probably be a bit muddy, but there will be lots of change in the flora and fauna and critters to see … so get out and move your body, while you keep up with your monthly health goals.                      

 

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

Since March will be the last month of winter for most of us (and summer from some of us), it’s a good time to get pics that show that change. A final snowfall, buds on trees, rabbits, birds and more. Just try to find three pics that somehow represent March.

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.

10,000 steps:  9/22 days

15,000 steps:  2/10 days

20,000 steps - 0/5days

27,500 steps - 0/1 day

No Alcohol - 14/28 days 

Total Steps 133.815 / 300,000 

 

A much better week for myself, 5 of the 7 days hitting my 10k target, and once hitting my 15k target, but I think the target if 20k 5 days, and 27.5k once might have been a bit optimistic, but I've still got 2 Saturdays left this month, so it's possible to hit that one one of those days still

 

Steps between 7th and 14th were up to 80,507 & 60.47km, and although I wasn't counting 'Floors' I'm a big fan of that feature, so might start focusing on that next month too. 

 

Glad to see everyone else going strong too 🙂
