Old School Zoom
You know that Zoom has nothing to do with sitting in front of your computer, right? Go old school in June and Zoom around on your bike or ramp up the speed on your walks, and, instead of calls on the computer, take some of those work calls on your cell phone while adding a few more steps to your daily totals. Be creative. And Zoom in June.
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
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 Zoom. Anything that shows some speed (running dogs, flying bugs (cicadas) kids, bikers, hotrods ... ).
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.

I was fairly lazy for all my days off. I got steps in on most of the days at least. Disconnected a bit from the internet. Just got to survive the catch-up on my email for the next two days.

@YojanaFitbit Thank you!
Phew! It's so muggy already, and it's not even in the heat advisory time yet. It's gonna be hard to get steps in until this heat breaks.

@YojanaFitbit Thank you! I wish I had kept up with the squats like you have. It's not a good excuse, but going back to the office two days a week has definitely kicked my butt. One of the days last week, I ended up falling asleep by 8:30.
We've another scorcher of a day today. 😩 Gotta get that water in!

@SteppingBooks I'm always amazed by your numbers, I think you can start doing squats maybe next month. And actually, you do a lot! 😎 Sunny days are great but scorched days are not soo good. 😑
@Baltoscott Wow, that was fast! Thank you for the invitation. 😁

@YojanaFitbit Thank you! 🤗 Gonna try to hit those squat goals next month. It was definitely too hot the last few days to really do anything. Hopefully today is the last heat advisory day for awhile. Thought it is hard some days to find the discipline/motivation to do things.
@Baltoscott Aye, aye! 😛
