Stomping STEPtember 2022 — Step Challenge and Photo Scavenger Hunt

[Baltoscott]

Fall arrives this month — the start of falling leaves and cooler temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere (soon I hope - very hot now!), and new green warmth in the Southern. It is a great time to get outside, stomp around, and get your steps

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

The theme this month is STEPS -- of course (It is Stomping STEPtember, after all). 

Well how about that?Watch your STEP

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.

Hi, for stomping September I would love to be able to see my steps but unfortunately my Inspire 3 does not show me stats directly on the clock face so we are a bunch of Inspire 3 owners wanting to use the SDK to make a “clock face” that actually shows stats and not time as the Inspire 3 being a tracker and not a watch…

Please help with a vote on this feature suggestion!
