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.

@YojanaFitbit That's what I figure. My first thought almost always when something has a hiccup is that the server is having problems.
I'm not doing good with zooming pictures. Every time I think, "oh I could take a picture of that bird", it's gone before I get my phone out.

@SteppingBooks Yeah! that is exactly what happen when you think you have a great picture in front of you 😅. I better try to relax and try to take a picture of something that isn't moving instead. You can also zoom other things, I'm sure you see a lot of things during the day. Anything it's okay.
@stoughjr Wow, you had good luck zooming those squirrels. 😃
Water on a leave, looks perfect

This was the opposite of Zoom Zoom. Nice loud blowout about a mile from home. No injuries, just a bit of a Walk Walk. I guess I got my step count up inadvertently 🙂
Zoom Zoom STOP!!!
