Take advantage of the long days and warm weather with this creative summer step challenge idea.
In this one-day challenge, each participant tries to take their longest walk of the year by beating their personal record for most steps in one day. Participants can track their personal activity records in their MoveSpring app profile. In addition to this individual goal, each participant will also be contributing to one, larger Group Target step goal. If you're not sure what to set this goal at, check out our guide to setting group challenge goals.
Use the MoveSpring app to determine your personal best for most steps in one day.
Before the challenge begins, ask users to refer to their own personal activity records, found in their MoveSpring profile. Their personal record for most steps in one day will determine the number they are trying to surpass for the challenge.
This challenge works well for groups of varying activity levels, as the goal is tailored to each participant's personal activity history.
