Step It Up

Step It Up USA (promoted by the Surgeon General) officially begins tomorrow, October 13th, so this is a very quick turnaround for sign ups - SORRY!

Consider joining Step It Up USA. The challenge is to move more, from October 13th - 26th. You can sign up at the following link: https://www.stepitupusa.org/

I signed up via Fitbit (feel free to join my Fitbit team "Idiosyncratic Unicorns")! If you don't have a Fitbit, never fear! You can sign up / join via Twitter, Facebook, etc.

The actual Step It Up USA challenge is open to U.S. residents only, but you can still participate via swap-bot if you are international - just track your steps and miles from October 13th - 26th. If you don't want to sign up at the stepitupusa.org site, just track your steps and miles for the sake of this swap :)

At the end of the challenge period, send your partner a short note (1 paragraph) on a postcard OR a nice piece of stationery with the following:

1). Total steps taken / miles walked between the 13th and 26th. 2). Did any new goals / routines stem from this challenge? 3). A fun /creative fact: (Ex: The number of miles I walked is the equivalent of walking from one border of my state to the other) - Get creative!

OPTIONAL: If moving more and fitness is a new interest, or even a continuing / ongoing one, consider joining my Health & Fitness Foray group, a new group dedicated to support, motivation, and challenges just like this one! :)
