Step Challenge
Why a step challenge?
A step challenge is a great way to promote and improve our physical wellness. It’s a proven fact that individuals who meet their step goals show improved physical wellness in a variety of different measurements. Monitoring your steps is an easy way to track how much physical activity you are taking part in on any given day.
Doing a step challenge is also a really good way to practice setting and achieving goals! You practice setting goals by laying out how many steps you want to get and planning how you’re going to get there. Then you practice achieving your goals by executing your plan and tracking your progress.
